As Sollers indicated in Paradis, Joycean Christianity like Sollers' Catholicism participates in the comic and the pathetic. The novel Paradis has a particular flavor because the narrator is similar to a troubadour singing the story of postmodern times. The self appears to disappear as word games, puns, neologisms and misspellings create a text that is hallucinatory and humorous in its juxtaposition of seemingly incongruous words and phrases. There are constant references to orchestration and symphony, thus suggesting that there is an innate structure to what appears, at first glance to be a chaotic text.
The text's life is much like the sexuality of the writer. There is a rhythm, very much like radar or sonar , according to which the text responds to its need to enjoy itself and also to reproduce itself. The physical drives and desires of the human body lead it toward variations of paradise. Sollers was one of the founding members of the journal and the only remaining member after several years. He became the driving force and developed a reputation as something of an enfant terrible. Tel Quel "as is" published from to was an avant garde journal with a reputation for iconoclasm.
Influenced by Russian Formalism , it was at the vanguard of the creation of literary critical theory which transcended generic and disciplinary boundaries, paving the way for the rise of Jacques Derrida and deconstruction , and subsequently Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser. While psychoanalysis played an important theoretical role, from Tel Quel embraced Marxism , particularly Maoism and sought to both create a revolution in literature and the larger society as well.
In this regard it was the logical successor of Surrealism , which had eventually foundered on the Marxist commitments of Andre Breton. Tel Quel saw itself as the cultural arm of the French Communist Party, especially around the time of the events of May When the revolution did not materialize, the Sollers led the journal away from Marxism, befriending the Nouveaux Philosophes, such as Bernard-Henri Levy and even turned to theology.
Most of Soller's work has not been translated into English. They are popular in France and among academics who speak French. His novels Femmes and Portrait de joueur have achieved a certain popularity.
One of the reason for the popularity of these books by Sollers is the sense of humor that he exhibits with his narrating voice about the culture in which the voice thrives. In his writing, Sollers has a place of predilection, a place that unites together the whole of his personal pantheon: Intimate experiences, expression, erudition, Sollers reveals the splendors of the Serenissima in a very personal Dictionnaire amoureux de Venise In , Sollers published Passion fixe, a tender and moving love story, undoubtedly the most intimate written by the author, at once immoral and moral.
In , he published Une vie divine. The narrator, a professor of philosophy, was entrusted with the task of reflecting upon a world philosophy that would not exclude the religious dimension of humanity. Throughout his research and discussions with the two women in his life one intellectual and the other frivolous he discovers that only one thinker is strong enough to found a project of world philosophy: In this novel, Philippe Sollers rises against contemporary nihilism — literature in deadlock, misfortune and melancholy — to which he contrasts promises of life and happiness.

A political book and philosophical novel, Une vie divine is serious and humorous writing on the possibility of being happy. Praises of joy versus sadness and ambient defeatism.
Sollers also sees himself and his novels in an eighteenth-century lineage with philosophes like Diderot and Voltaire ; so his break with tradition is not all-encompassing.
