Abstract: Jean Echenoz is a famous contemporary French novelist, whose works are known for his particular style of symbolization. Echenoz is an expert in presenting a static world of objects by using the synchronic accumulation of symbols that contain rich cultural information, providing the scene of floating and pausing symbols which features both synchronicity and diachronism, and finally forming a diachronic combination of zero symbols and genre ones. In this way he creates a symbolic empire at three levels. Echenoz’s symbolic writing has not only built a real world of today but also gained an independent value of its own.
