Lettres d'automne: Verticals, an editorial landscape

It was within Editions Verticales, which published her very first novel, that Maylis de Kerangal says she became a writer. And it is mainly in this house that his work is still displayed today. Founded a little over 25 years ago by Bernard Wallet, quickly joined by Jeanne Guyon and Yves Pagès who run it as a pair today, Verticales brings together unique voices: Olivia Rosenthal, Arnaud Cathrine, François Begaudeau, Pierre Senges, Nastassja Martin… This meeting is an opportunity to survey this catalog which presents itself as a “center for rallying differences”, and to discuss, with Léna Ghar, the attention paid to new writings. Léna Ghar has just published Tumeur ou Tutu, “a powerful first novel which reflects on the way in which trauma infuses language. One of the best discoveries of the new school year.” (The Unrockuptibles)
