The interview with Emmanuel Carrère that we present here is an appendix to the monographic section where the interventions of the Laboratorio Malatestiano Di fronte all’evento. La rappresentazione della cronaca nelle arti contemporanee are collected. Emmanuel Carrère – as we know – took from a news item the subject of his most famous novel, L’Adversaire (2000). In the perspective opened by this seminar, we proposed to examine the reasons that led Carrère to turn to the judicial chronicle and its impact on his writing. Through this interview and the commentary that follows it, we will try to show that, if the Carrère’s literary approach is oriented towards reality, it is not linked to the simple desire to write a chronicle or undertake an investigation. Rather, reality represents a necessary, even forced, choice through which the author, after a long hesitation that he recounts in these pages, discovers a new way to investigate reality.
