Hervé Guibert’s library

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of *La Mort propagande* (1977), the first book
by Hervé Guibert, and the fiftieth anniversary of his joining *Le Monde* as a literary critic, the Institute for
Research in European Languages and Literatures (ILLE) at the University of Mulhouse wishes to offer, during
these study days, a reflection on the influences, sources and networks of references that
shape the work of a writer whose practice has constantly moved between literature, photography,
journalism and art criticism.
