Innovation and Negativity:A Critical Review of Nothing Is Said:Modern After All
French author and literary critic Philippe Forest's new book,Nothing Is Said:Modern After All,is a critical work on the subject of modernity.The author analyzes the connotations of modernity and the avant-garde,as well as their impact on French literature in response to the discourse in media and academia that proclaims the end of modernity.Amid a global trend in the entertainment industry that calls for a return to narrative tradition,Forest suggests that the concept of negativity embedded in modernity is a constant driver of innovation in literary language.Starting with the key issues of modernity and the avant-garde,work and text,real and reality,this essay attempts to decipher the author's defence of literary modernity and his expectation for the return of the critical spirit of the avant-garde.
