REPORTAGE
The writer Anne Goscinny has let into her room, where is located on both sides of the bed two large libraries, Nicolas Carreau for the show La Voix is book on Europe 1. What's in it?
In his library, we obviously find comics, the flagship work of his father, René Goscinny. But unlike many libraries where collections are never complete, here many are fully represented. "Before the comic, we did a 'Gallimard discovery' about my father that my husband wrote and he asked to be paid in 'Gallimard discovery'," says Anne Goscinny. "We created a currency," she jokes. Asked about her father's work, Anne Goscinny replies that "it's great to be the child of a guy who died 42 years ago and who keeps people laughing".
"The Countess de Segur has probably made me what I am."
On the shelves of her two libraries, one can find, classified by edition, many books like those of the Countess of Ségur, "the author whom I like and which I respect most in the world", explains Anne Goscinny. "The Countess of Ségur has probably made me what I am," she continues, adding that she reads on average between four and five pounds of Countess of Ségur per year. "So I know them by heart! And then the language is wonderful".

Among the indispensable books, Anne Goscinny cites "The book of my mother" by Albert Cohen. "It's my Bible," she explains. Some books later, we find Anne Sylvestre and "Poppy". "She chose words she likes and develops, and that's great," says Anne Goscinny, who is "a real fan" of the author. We also find on his shelf, but also his office, tickets from the passage of Anne Sylvestre to La Cigale. "There are people, it's the Rolling Stones, me, it's Anne Sylvestre".
Only small drawback to the organization of its library: the size of the shelves. "I'm very small, I'm a meter 58, so from the third floor, I'm forced to take a stool.It laughs my children and it's a ridiculous consummate," she says.
