"L'Écrivain" by Pierre Mille is a literary work likely written in the early 20th century. This text navigates the intricacies of writing and the profession of a writer through the lens of its central character, Pamphile, who aspires to become an author. The narrative explores themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the changing perceptions of writers in contemporary society. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Pamphile’s mother, who seeks advice on her son’s ambition to become a writer. The conversation between her and an unnamed narrator setting the scene illustrates the tension and comedy surrounding Pamphile's aspirations. The narrator reflects on how the bourgeoisie’s attitudes toward writers and other professions have shifted over time, noting that while there was once disdain for certain roles, writers have gradually become accepted in society. As Pamphile emerges in his pursuit of literature, the narrator offers insights into the struggles of writers in contemporary France, hinting at their societal roles and the complexities of gaining recognition as an author. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of creativity, ambition, and the arts within the context of a rapidly changing world.
