Abstract: Many novelists, such as Jean-René Selva with Grand hôtel et des Palmes, have drawn inspiration for their fiction from Roussel’s death in Palermo. Likewise, L’Île du Point Némo, a vibrant novel by Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès, and The Vorrh, a work of fantasy by Brian Catling, are rooted in Roussel’s life work and are extensions of the imaginary that holds sway in Impressions d’Afrique and Locus Solus. This article aims to shed light on these various forms Roussel has assumed in his afterlife.
