Declaration of love
It begins with the prize for the French novel, awarded to Agnès Desarthe for
The Eternal Fiancé
at the Éditions de l'Olivier.
The author humorously points out that her heroine doesn't even have a first name, but that ultimately she represents all women.
It was Joyce Maynard who won the foreign novel prize for
Where Lived Happy People
from Éditions Philippe Rey.
She is in the United States, her little note of thanks is a beautiful declaration of love to France.
Memorial Drive
, the very powerful and moving text by Natasha Trethewey on the assassination of her mother, published by Éditions de l'Olivier, won the prize for storytelling.
Intense emotion when we learn that it is the anniversary of the disappearance of his mother.
This year, we rewarded for the first time a graphic novel.
The eventful life of
Queenie, the godmother of Harlem
, by Elizabeth Colomba and Aurélie Lévy, at Editions Anne Carrière, thrilled the jury.
Aurélie Lévy thanks us warmly and informs us that her friend the designer Elizabeth Colomba has just made the cover of the prestigious
New Yorker.
Applause, we open the terrace, Paris is at our feet.
It's time for champagne, caviar, fruit, vodka, water too, due to the heat wave and not so intimate conversations.
We are talking about the new literary season, Christine Orban is finishing a book on Blaise Pascal's sister (a future heroine?);
always sparkling and passionate, Nicole Sonneville announces the arrival of Isabelle Adjani on France 2 as Diane de Poitiers, magnified by the direction of Josée Dayan… The return to school will be magnificent just like this evening.
Dear heroines, see you next year!
