Jean-Christophe Bailly

His book Tuiles detachées explains this decision, as well as several important steps for the formation of his style.

Close to surrealism when he entered literature, he moved away from it.

His thought constitutes the modern continuity of certain ideas of German romanticism: the idea of a sense without borders and moving forms, in the spirit of what Novalis calls the "Encyclopedia".

He also directed the series "Détroits" at Éditions Christian Bourgois [fr] (with Michel Deutsch [fr] and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe) and "35-37" at Hazan.

A holder of a doctorate degree in philosophy, Bailly has been teaching at the École nationale supérieure de la nature et du paysage [fr] in Blois, of which he has been directing the publication Les Cahiers de l’École de Blois since 2003.
