What is literature capable of today ? Many contemporary writers, aware of both the limits and the power of their role, no longer hesitate to address the major social and political issues of our times. Whether it is to expose the reality of a political regime or the infiltration of politics into the private sphere, literature does not intend to stop making us more aware of the world that is ours.
