description A writer always seeks his/her position with regard to other authors, invents a genealogy, and accentuates literary history in his/her own way. Just where does Claude Simon place Flaubert among his forerunners? Examining in his works or interviews the explicit references to Flaubert, allusions or re-writings sometimes difficult to detect in his novels, this article strives to define both the place from which Claude Simon wants to write, and his particular positioning with respect to other authors who renewed the novel’s formulas by defending various solutions of the nouveau roman. There is a Claude Simon’s Flaubert who is not Robbe-Grillet’s, and its description helps us to better understand the 20th-century writer’s work. In spite of his admiration, Claude Simon is critical as well and careful to define the new direction he took with respect to Flaubert.
