Meeting with the author Laurent Graff
Friday, November 3, 2006, at 5:30 PM
Literature
Is it the end of the world? Laurent Graff imagines a fable that resembles Edvard Munch’s painting “The Scream” and features a likable naive hero. The light tone of the first pages gradually gives way to anxiety, then to anguish thanks to a tightly written and minimalist style. One of the great and beautiful surprises of the season. Selection from the Fnac Riviera readers.

“Dans la Foule” (Ed. Minuit) is less a trial of hooliganism than the story of a collective and painful coming-of-age about life. How to survive the abyss opened by any disappearance, this is the fundamental question that seems to be posed here.

A journey into the universe of great Renaissance painters, a story of class struggle, a novel of a twilight love, “L’Imprévisible” (Ed. Actes Sud) is an extremely delicate novel, structured like a countdown, which paints a beautiful portrait of a man struggling with the difficulties of existence.

“She cannot tell everything. She always fears being read, being violated also by this part of her being. And then that it will be used against her. Her true words are a weapon she would put in her mouth. So she censors herself, relieving only halfway. It’s terrible.”
