| Summary: | Laughter has occupied a central and underestimated place in Yannick Haenel’s work since Les Petits soldats (1996). On the other hand, irony is increasing softly from book to book. It appears in Le Sens du calme (2011), grows in Les Renards pâles (2013) and reaches its peak in Hold Fast Your Crown (2017), a novel which once again tells Jean Deichel’s adventures, a constantly challenged antihero. This article aims to analyze the subversive irony at work and the issues underlying the author’s latest publications. |
