I am interested in th e way that fiction recognizes that immersive potential\, and comments up on it. In my talk\, I shall visit a few passages of that sort from write rs such as Jean-Philippe Toussaint\, Don DeLillo\, Lewis Carroll\, Christ ine Montalbetti\, Tanguy Viel\, Michael Innes\, Hélène Lenoir\, and Pi erre Bayard. I shall argue for a theory of reading founded in pragmatics \, one that recognizes that we may immerse ourselves as deeply as we wis h in the fictions we read\, while never abdicating our critical responsi bilities." Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the Univers ity of Colorado-Boulder\, Dr. Warren Motte specializes in contemporary wr iting\, with particular focus upon experimentalist works that put accepte d notions of literary form into question. In 2015\, he was named Chevalie r dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the French government.
