The most read French author in France and in the world, the writer Marc Lévy is the guest of Anne Roumanoff in the program "It makes good".
He believes that, despite the difficulties, the current health crisis has the advantage of reminding us of the crucial work of nurses, regardless of their status or success.
INTERVIEW
The best-selling author Marc Lévy is delighted with the reviews of his latest book
It Happened One Night
.
But he explains at the microphone of Anne Roumanoff in the show
It feels good
that his pleasure also comes from the fact that he never takes himself seriously.
According to him, the health crisis is conducive to bringing everyone back to a little humility, faced with the role even more important than before played by nursing staff.
An environment he was close to during his youth since he volunteered with the Red Cross for six years.
"We are living in an era which sets the record straight quite a bit on the importance we attach to the chain of trades," he observes.
"I think even the greatest writer in the world is tiny in the hands of the nurse who treats him when he is very sick."

Marc Lévy wanted to become a doctor
The recognition of the writer for the medical community is not new.
It was born in his youth, first out of frustration, which he then knew how to transform.
"I dreamed of becoming a doctor. But you had to be very good at math, and I wasn't," he recalls.
"So, failing that, I joined the Red Cross."
Marc Lévy's experience as a Red Cross volunteer will last six years and will mark the rest of his life.
"It brought me a lot to make others happy," he explains.
"And so, the Red Cross has given me a lot, I will be grateful all my life to this humanitarian association."
Today, Marc Lévy devotes himself to his profession as a writer, but not only.
He is also a sponsor of the Foundation for Medical Research.
