Christine Montalbetti

Christine Montalbetti is a French novelist, playwright and professor of literature at the University of Paris. In her writing, Montalbetti practices what Warren Motte calls "intrusive narration," or a narrative style that engages the reader directly in dialogue. Thus in one of her short stories, Montalbetti remarks to the reader, "you are the one person who many imagine flawlessly the particular trouble that the unlucky hero of this story experiences."[1]
