Nouvelle Biographie, Pulp Nonfiction, and National Crisis: the year in france. French biographers, Max Gallo (1931–2017) and Gonzague Saint Bris (1948– both stood for a certain idea of biography as a popular literary genre characterized by conservative tendencies and a kitsch style of pop history. There is hardly any difference between Gallo's fictions, his histories, and his biographies, all addressing the kind of subjects journalists call marronniers (chestnuts)—Napoléon, Max Gallo revising once more the Carlylean cult of Great Men to perpetuate the sense of belonging to a national community, Gonzague Saint Bris revisiting the tradition of the anas in the spirit of popular magazines: looking back With Max Gallo and Gonzague Saint Bris an outmoded style of biography is dying away in this country, while the genre discreetly plays a central biography in the larger sense has become a center-stage genre in French cultural and intellectual life.	./cache/work_4nxouxkmwvd3toljukak6jomlu.pdf	./txt/work_4nxouxkmwvd3toljukak6jomlu.txt
