- Quignard, Pascal: La haine de la musique (1) (remove)
Pascal Quignard belongs to those contemporary French writers whose work draws on music, while demonstrating ambivalent or even ambiguous feelings towards it. In this article, we explore the reasons, the challenges and the functions of what Quignard himself called the 'hatred of music' in an eponymous and landmark essay in which he reveals the secrets of his relationship to music, a relationship that intertwines his family history with the History of the Second World War.
