"Tanguy Viels parody/pastiche of the American novel is subtle and experimental it tells a story at the same time as it implicitly poses questions about the narrative structure it is deploying." The French ReviewIn The Disappearance of Jim Sullivan, disappearance is both a theme and a stylistic device. Indeed, this publication narrates the disappearance of Dwayne Koster, who, fascinated by the story of Jim Sullivan, commits suicide in the New Mexico desert which was the setting of the rockers disappearance in 1975. But this novel is for the most part set in the metanarrative tale of its own genesis, and, as a result, is partially eclipsed its fictitious author doesnt relate it in its entirety and keeps adding bits and pieces of first drafts and preliminary sketches to his text, thus blurring its boundaries. Tanguy Viels work can therefore be perceived as a double response, existential and aesthetic, to the question of the end.
