All about BHL
1977
1975 to 1979
Publishes La Barbarie à visage humain (Grasset), thereby launching the “BHL” phenomenon : this essay, which aligns itself with l’idéologie progressiste, a new progressive ideology by looking beyond fascism, Stalinism, and Marxism, provoked impassioned discussions and enjoyed immediate success. Supported by the dual benediction of Roland Barthes and Philippe Sollers, it sold hundreds of thousands of copies and was translated into several languages. Leonardo Sciascia prefaces the Italian edition, and Octavio Paz is its standard-bearer in Spain and Latin America. Thus, BHL (the acronym creates a furor) becomes an object of admiration as well as controversy.
