An Urban Novel
The “Ambient Lyricism” in “La Négresse du Sacré-Coeur”
Abstract
Long marginalised by literary history, André Salmon’s novels contributed to the modernist and international renewal of the genre at the turn of the century. This article examines the ‘simultaneist’ composition of La Négresse du Sacré-Cœur (1920). While this ‘urban novel’ makes Montmartre the main enunciative subject of the text, it also redeploys the procedures of the ‘poem-conversation’ – as defined by Apollinaire – on the scale of the novel.
