Christian Prigent's books are all fuelled by a drive to grasp a reality that stands firm against the so-called reality of any depiction that claims to reflect it. No matter the genre, this series of books is subjective in terms of the piece, meaning it constantly looks into itself, questions and experiments with forms, tests ideas and hones in on the singularity of feeling. All this against the backdrop of a political story which it always wants to have a hold on so as to better commit to it and commit literature with it. Expressing speech and emotion, text and image and the question of the moral and political responsibility of those who want to produce literature are some of the central themes that this study shall address as it explores the career of a writer who has been writing one of the most prolific pieces of contemporary French literature for almost fifty years. Christian Prigent was awarded the 2018 Poetry Grand Prix from the Académie Française.

Les livres de Christian Prigent sont autant de traces d'un effort chaque fois reconduit pour cerner un réel qui résiste à la proclamée réalité de toute représentation qui prétend en rendre compte. Ces livres successifs, et quel que soit le genre qu'ils investissent, montrent ainsi une subjectivité à l'œuvre. C'est-à-dire qui sans cesse se cherche, questionne et expérimente des formes, éprouve des idées, traque au plus près la singularité de la sensation, le tout sur fond d'une histoire politique avec laquelle elle veut toujours être en prise, pour mieux s'y engager, et engager la littérature avec elle. L'articulation du dit et du senti, celle du texte et de l'image, mais aussi la question de la responsabilité morale et politique de qui veut faire œuvre littéraire, sont parmi les thèmes principaux que cette étude se propose d'aborder en tentant de décrire le parcours d'un écrivain qui, depuis bientôt cinquante ans, écrit l'une des œuvres les plus prolifiques de la littérature française contemporaine. Christian Prigent a obtenu en 2018 le Grand Prix de poésie de l'Académie française.
