Who is Philippe Sollers?
Philippe Sollers is a French writer and critic. In 1960 he founded the avant garde journal Tel Quel, published by Seuil, which ran until 1982. In 1982 Sollers created the journal L'Infini published by Denoel which was later published under the same title by Gallimard for whom Sollers also edits the series.

These three characters are described in his novel, Femmes alongside a number of other figures of the French intellectual movement before and after May 1968. From A Strange Solitude, The Park and Event, through "Logiques", Lois and Paradis, down to Watteau in Venice, Une vie divine and "La Guerre du goût", the writings of Sollers have sparked argumentation, provocation and challenge.
In his book Writer Sollers, Roland Barthes discusses the work of Philippe Sollers and the meaning of language.
