Abstract EN:

Does lautreamont's poetic future'correspond, through the novels of soupault, to the transcendence of the "real" by dostoievsky's fantastic"? in soupault's novels, the adventure" of "psychological" creation, open to the "treasure of possiblities", goes through the liberation of the "unconscious of the novelist"-not the "poetic unconscious" - , in which the automatic narration is chanelled through the split personal- ity of the observer and the surrealist. Le bon apotre constitue an attempt to lib- erate the "unconscious of the novelist", of which "the lyricism is proportional to the speed" of automatic writing, originating with les chants de maldoror. The novelist, in renouncing himself, expresses the depth of his paradixocal nature; it is the perfec- tion of writing that escapes the writer. Les dernieres nuits de paris and nadja con- stitue the culmination in the novel of the "invisible collaboration" between breton and soupault beginning with les champs magnetiques, through which they communicated, by the form of the surrealistic novel, from a "guilt-ridden unconscious" to the other for that which is the content. For soupault, the goal of writing the surrealistic novel was to liberate the "guilt-ridden unconscious of the novelist". The possiobility of the surrealistic novel having been demonstrated, soupaul't work in the surrealistic novel must be considered, by a dialectic of literary and surrealistic criticism, as the inheritance from flaubert, received through lautreamont and dostoievsky.
