Publicity

Camille Laurens is the daughter of her father and mother, who gave her a life that she recounts in her novels. She is also a girl of the French language, whose words she chisels with great sensitivity, sometimes tinged with a hint of cruelty.
Camille Laurens is also the daughter of literature, to which she brings her pen, which she defends in the columns of the newspaper Le Monde or within the Académie Goncourt. She is finally a daughter, now a mother. Mother of novels, stories, essays, also a few plays and above all mother of a daughter to whom she dedicates this moving learning novel, as sad as it is luminous. A novel that will perhaps make girls, language, literature and the world look at it differently. Girl by Camille Laurens has been published by Gallimard editions.

Report: Fanny Bleichner went to visit “In the land of monsters”, an exhibition around the work of Léopold Chauveau, to be discovered until September 13, 2020 at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
