## Work[edit]

His work, begun in 1995 with Coup de foudre, is distinct[1] from other works of the postmodern generation by a style that could be described as manierist or baroque. Like other postmodern authors, Eric Laurrent practices intertextuality abundantly, using each of his novels not as a rewriting of a classical work, but more as a burlesque tribute to the world's literary heritage. Thus, for example, the spy novel Les atomiques, his second novel (1996), plays on a re-reading of the Divine Comedy by Dante. Intertextuality can, in some cases, come more from intermediality,[2] as in the case of his first novel, built around the presence in the hollow of the painting The Birth of Venus by Botticelli.
