Philippe Sollers was at the heart of the intense period of intellectual unrest present in the Paris of the 60's and 70's. Amongst others, he was a friend of Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser and Roland Barthes. These three characters are described in his novel, Femmes (1983) alongside a number of other figures of the French intellectual movement pre and post May 68.

After his first novel A strange solitude (1958), hailed by François Mauriac and Louis Aragon, Sollers began, with "The park"(1961) the experiments in narrative form that would lead to "Event" ("Drame", 1965) and "Nombres" (1968). Jacques Derrida analyzes these novels in his book "Dissemination". Sollers then appears to have attempt to counter the high seriousness of "Nombres" by producing "Lois" (1972) a greater linguistic vitality through, for instance, the use of wordplay and a less formal style. The direction taken by "Lois" was developed through the heightened rhythmic intensity of the unpunctuated texts such as "Paradis" (1981). Sollers's other novels include "Women" (1983), "Portrait du joueur" (1984), "Le coeur absolu" (1986), "Watteau in Venice" (1991), "Studio" (1997), "Passion fixe" (2000), "L'étoile des amants" (2002), which have all introduced a degree of realism to his fiction to the extend that they make more recognizable use of plot, character and thematic development. They offer the reader a clear fictional study of the society in which he or she lives by reinterpreting among other things the role of politics, media, sex, religion, and the arts. In all these novels Sollers's interest in Chinese civilization took an important place. François Mauriac (October 11, 1885–September 1, 1970) was a French author. ...
