When they undertake to define the novel, novelists often mouth only one word: “freedom.” They do not hesitate to return to the word and repeat it because fiction, in their eyes, is clearly the free genre par excellence. This article focuses on the “obsessional” motif of freedom in a collection of essays on fiction written by novelists in the second half of the twentieth century: mainly Le roman en liberté (Félicien Marceau), Roman du roman (Jacques Laurent), L'invitation au mensonge (Gilles Barbedette) and Les testaments trahis (Milan Kundera). In these texts, fiction is not declared to be the “freest genre in existence” without personifying this literary genre, narrating its history and confronting it with various antagonists who try to domesticate it or subject it to rules. What are these rules? Can fiction function without rules? And, above all, is the freedom of fiction really a definitional issue?
