Manuel de survie à l’usage des incapables de Thomas Gunzig : une dystopie orwellienne à la belge

Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2019, Vol 43, Issue 1

Abstract

As George Orwell did with 1984, Thomas Gunzig gives us in his misleading novel a dystopian vision of the world, a distorted reflection of our everyday life, an acid pamphlet of an ultra-materialistic society. The Belgian writer fits his novel in that of George Orwell according to his own referents. The purpose of this paper is therefore to identify links of filiation, structural and thematic analogies with the Orwelian text while revealing the specificity of the Belgian novel.
