Abstract
Partly a tramp and partly an outcast, the hobo as a character in Laurent Gaudé's imagination and fiction is a multi-faceted figure, a metaphor for modern world crisis. Resorting to a sort of primitive morality, he elects to break away from a universe of exclusion, alienating individuals to the point of stripping them off of their humanity, and he ultimately becomes a hobo. His wanderings become a form of resistance to repressive normality, and the Gaudean tramp evolves into a social rebel figure.
