MEETING & READING - Animation: students of the Master's in Literary Creation at the University of Toulouse II Jean Jaurès - Duration: 1 hour.
ON THE SIDE OF THE LIVING with Violaine Bérot.
Violaine Bérot writes from the margins, driven by a life of ups and downs, an eclectic career that has taken her from IT to goat farming. Her works include Tombée des nues, The Secret Life of Pets (Buchet-Chastel), and Nuits de noces (La Contre-Allée). Her new book, On the Side of the Living, immerses us in a hospital room where two men—one who no longer wants to fight, the other who thinks it's over—cross paths with caregivers, loved ones, strange figures... and a few lingering dead people. During this encounter, Violaine Bérot will read an excerpt from this polyphonic tale.
Event scheduled in partnership with La Mémo.
