| Résumé anglais |
Southern literature, which is rooted in the tradition of story-telling/story-listening and repeatedly describes places and characters as being surrounded with a halo of echoes and stories, lends itself to an exploration of the essential interrelatedness of Voice and Fiction. A short examination of Foote's works reveals 1) that initiation into the realm of the written word often takes place only after the would-be novelist immerses himself in some sort of flumen verborum or exposes himself to an oracular voice echoing myths and legends — a necessary rite for the novelist to find his own authorial voice, 2) that fiction-writing is basically a vocal art and that voice, however ephemeral it may sound, is the unsubstantial fabric literature is made of.
