Résumé anglais In Plays Well with Others (1997), his novel about the AIDS pandemic which decimated the New York gay community in the eighties, Allan Gurganus makes a plea against sectarianism and exclusion. The purpose of this paper is to show how Allan Gurganus's rejection of closed territories manifests itself literally through his experimental and generous writing. By systematically playing with syntax, lexis and punctuation, but also with genre and various forms of artistic expression, Gurganus stretches the limits of language and of fiction, thus redefining open aesthetic spaces.
