« Une évolution constante des dynamiques » : un entretien avec Frédéric Forte

Abstract

In this interview with Matthew B. Smith, Frédéric Forte reflects on the evolution of the Oulipo since its foundation in 1960, the stimulation he finds in formal challenges that may initially seem impossible to meet, his exploration of potentiality with and without explicit recourse to constraints, the encouragement and guidance of Jacques Jouet, translation, and collaborating with the band Deerhoof.
