This is the subject of the novel Illusions perdues in which the hero, victim of a reconfiguration of his being, values and principles, goes from being a poet to being a journalist and then to the hybrid status of journalist-poet. The latter can only construct a degraded and perverted version of his (illusory) dreams to become himself.
