Jeanne Rivière has an incisive, almost incandescent feather that makes you want to get up and shake. However, this book does not take us into a crazy epic. Rather, these are pieces of life, those of a single mother, Tarzan her son and their guinea pigs. We meet rural France which struggles to reach both ends, punk clubs and friendships as strong as united. It’s funny or even crazy and it really makes you good!

Adèle Yon is a researcher and terraced at the idea of becoming crazy, like her great-grandmother, Elisabeth. But was it really? Or is it the diagnosis made by medicine that tends to violate women? The author goes back in time and carefully analyzes the real inheritance bequeathed by this woman whose no one wants to speak. Between the road trip, the test and the investigation: brilliant!

A sort of collection of reflections on our world and its news, this text is “a story in progress, that of a yesterday so close and a tomorrow that trembles a little.” At a time when obscurantism and repressive policies are gaining ground, reading Lola Lafon is beneficial as the gaze she poses on our societies is sharp. This text deciphers the past 2 years, from Gisèle Pelicot to Mahsa Amini, including police violence and feminist struggles.
It was never too lateLola Lafon, ed. Stock
After GirlWe had to come back with a story at least as brilliant. It’s done for Camille Laurens who signs PromiseE, a breathless book, freezing on a deeply toxic love story. The promise is that made by the protagonist, Claire, to her companion playwright: that of never telling their love story in one of her future books. However, there would be things to say of it and so many mechanisms of domination to highlight. Will it hold it?

The year of her 13 years, Marie discovers that she is pregnant. She will have to abort alone in the hospital, without entrusting her terrible secret to her parents who, she is sure, would be furious! This novel with raw writing immerses us in the ambivalent sensations of the entry into adolescence and tells the difficulty of being a woman, a teenager and especially all at the same time. An intimate and courageous story that cloves from the first pages.
All against themMarie Chiabrero, ed. Rasset
While the extreme-right is gaining momentum across the globe, the French journalist Salomé Sacé arped in her pen to call for resistance. His very well documented test recalls the dangers of fascism while analyzing “journalistic neutrality” and media responsibility in the normalization of xenophobic and homophobic ideas. An affordable book both intellectual and financially (it costs only 5 euros), which should be slipped into everyone’s hands.

In his new novel, Philippe Besson recounts the difficult reconstruction of Vincent and Juliet, parents bereaved by the loss of their son Hugo, victim of school harassment. The author slips us into the head of this bruised father who tries to honor his son’s memory while wanting to understand how neither the school nor he managed to avoid the worst.

Karine Tuil explores behind the scenes of power with her acute sense of psychological tension. We follow a couple taken in the nets of international diplomacy, where words are weapons and silences, betrayals. Inspired by real facts, the author dissects influence games with a sharp pen. Brilliant, dense, and deeply human.
