Abstract

Bearing in mind the author’s numerous public dismissals and pervasive scepticism concerning the ‘engaged’ literature of his predecessors, such as Sartre and Camus, the purpose of this study is to explore J.M.G. Le Clézio’s committed prose which extends to all disenfranchised individuals across the globe and the entire biotic community. In contrast to an earlier generation of engaged writers, Le Clézio tends to avoid the limelight and any direct association with divisive, polemical subjects that might polarize a given society. This study will elucidate how the writer’s fiction, public discourses, and his recent interventions in support of social causes address themselves to the literary community; it will delve further into his engagement in an effort to delineate the nature of this artistic commitment and what it might encompass.
