Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on ironic references to the traditions of rural literature in Jean Hamelin’s "The Rage". The author explores the concept of the “writing of excess,” and claims that whereas actual "country" is an evanescent category, the territory that one can "possess" is that of language.
