Quote by Albert Camus

Isn't post-modernism really one big cover-up for the failure of the French to write a truly interesting novel ever since a sports car ate ?

Isn't post-modernism really one big cover-up for the failure

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that post-modernism in literature arises as a means of disguising French authors' inability to produce captivating novels since an unforeseen event, symbolized by a sports car eating something, occurred. It implies that post-modernism emerged as a result of lacking creativity or innovation in French literature, serving as a diversion tactic rather than a genuine artistic movement. Nonetheless, this explanation should be taken lightly, as the quote is more satirical in nature.

There certainly is no secret in that there are plenty of people who don't like plenty of my movies. Each one of my films is personal each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that. With each one of my films, I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.
