Jules Romains surréaliste ?

Authors: Voegele, Augustin;

Jules Romains surréaliste ?

Abstract

Résumé : Jules Romains n’aimait pas les surréalistes, parce qu’il estimait qu’ils s’étaient faits les complices de la crise morale que l’Occident traversait depuis 1914. Ainsi, dans Les Hommes de bonne volonté, le portrait de Vorge (cousin de papier de Breton et d’Aragon) n’est guère flatteur : sa promiscuité criminelle avec le tueur en série Quinette en dit long sur sa déchéance morale ; ses méditations lyriques sur les « montres » parisiennes l’apparentent aux paranoïaques ; et ses poèmes frappent par l’incongruité de leur poétique. Soit. Mais Romains lui-même n’a-t-il pas fréquenté Landru ? Comment ne pas noter par ailleurs que les intuitions surnaturelles de Vorge ressemblent à celles de Romains faisant l’expérience du divin au sein d’une foule éphémère ? Enfin, il faut bien dire que les poèmes de Vorge constituent des pastiches très réussis, qui viennent de plus pervertir la poétique du roman dans lequel ils sont insérés. Abstract: Jules Romains did not like the Surrealists, because he felt that they had become accomplices in the moral crisis that Europe had been going through since 1914. Thus, in Les Hommes de bonne volonté, the portrait of Vorge (who bears a strong resemblance to Breton and Aragon) is not flattering: his criminal promiscuity with the serial killer Quinette reveals much about his moral degradation; his lyrical meditations on Parisian shop windows make him seem like a paranoid; and his poems are strikingly incongruous. But didn’t Romains himself know Landru? How can we not note, moreover, that Vorge’s supernatural intuitions resemble those of Romains experiencing epiphanies in the midst of an ephemeral crowd? Finally, it must be said that Vorge’s poems are very good pastiches, which also pervert the poetics of the novel in which they are inserted.
