But how does he manage to upset us so much?
Shake us, disturb us?
Nicolas Mathieu is much more than an excellent writer.
He is a magician of words and evils who never ceases to surprise us.
A brilliant author of thrillers, surprise winner in 2018 of the Goncourt Prize for his masterful “Their Children After Them” and author of “Connemara”, one of the most beautiful books of the year 2022, he returns with “The Open Sky”, a collection of very personal texts on love.
A jewel.
The rest after this ad
Reading Nicolas Mathieu is a bit like spending an evening with an old friend and talking until midnight.
Of the life that passes, of the child that grows up, of our loves, past, present and perhaps future, which drive us crazy, burn us with pain or carry us like never before.
The writer makes no secret of it: he likes to understand how life works.
Then, carried by his pen of indescribable delicacy, without taboo, with accuracy, he examines it.
His, ours.
