Laurent Gaudé delivers a poignant story about the terrorist attacks of November 13, 2015 in Paris and Saint-Denis. In this short, rhythmic, almost cinematographic book, we move from one character to another, like a camera moving around the capital.
The 51-year-old author places his gaze full of humanity, sometimes furtively, sometimes lingering, on the victims and anonymous witnesses of this evening. The novelist and playwright publishes with Actes Sud a personal and polyphonic, moving account.
