Annie Ernaux came out of her silence in a letter to Emmanuel Macron on Monday. Entrusted to Augustin Trapenard on France Inter, the missive of the famous author of La Place is like a slap.
Sort of contemporary remake of the song The deserter , by Boris Vian, written in 1954, the tone of this resident of Cergy, in Val-d'Oise, contrasts quite radically with the confinement newspapers signed Leïla Slimani and Marie Darrieussecq, published respectively in Le Monde and Le Point from the first announcements of restrictive measures put in place by the government.
From self-fiction to the cry of revolt
From contemplative self-fiction - and a bit bourgeois - to the cry of revolt, from the large green spaces to the concrete Ile-de-France, the three authors stand out as much in tone as in substance. At a time of an unprecedented crisis which brings the French back to their social reality, are you more like Leïla Slimani, Marie Darrieussecq or Annie Ernaux. Test yourself.
