Winter, ou la cartographie intime de Rick Bass

Nathalie Cochoy
Résumé de l'article
Displaying the geographical and textual challenges that spending winter in the Yaak Valley represents, Winter is a founding work of Rick Bass’s nature-writing. This article intends to show that, far from distracting the author from his original referential purpose, the metatextual questioning of discourse paradoxically leads him to renew the notion of realism and unveil the most intimate, invisible aspects of nature. An analogy between diary-writing and map-writing first leads me to unveil Bass’s respectful recording of the mysteries of nature. The whiteness of winter then appears as a necessary screen initiating the eye to loss and renunciation. I finally try to show that by subverting romantic clichés, Bass’s poetic transcription of unexpected, fleeting events of everyday life can favor an emotional encounter with Otherness. Keywords : R. Bass, Diary, Eco-writers, Maps, Nature.
