Le remède dans le mal. Écriture et salut chez Guibert

When Hervé Guibert started to write À l'ami qui ne m'a pas sauvé la vie, he intimately knew that this book would have been his masterpiece or a failure without appeal. A question pursues him: how much time ? Rather than wait the day of his death, Guibert pushed his writing towards its limits. At the same time, by writing he find his deliverance: he can die free from bad passions, false friends, insincere books. Paradoxically, AIDS makes possible what a plenty life denied. In this paper I focus on some passages in relation with the last Foucault's class at the Collège de France in 1984.
