Olivier Rolin – the Writer without a Country

Abstract

The writer Olivier Rolin has been working as a globetrotting writer  for half a century and likes to share his peregrinations. He uses his travel diaries to recompose sensorial landscapes based on an enterprise of wandering writing and on a map that combines travel and literature. The writer proposes a personal geography and wonders about his attraction to the ruins of landscapes in no go zones. He thus sketches an autobiographical trajectory and works to depend on himself through a fruitful externality.
