Discover our editor Aude Robert-Tissot's first book review of Julia Kerninon's «Ma dévotion».

ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Ivan Garcia | Their names are William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck and others. They are great writers, published, read, celebrated and interviewed. The legends they have left us are grandiose, but beneath so many fine features, shouldn't we also be looking for traces of the work they did and the lives they lived? In her new essay, Julia Kerninon compares writers' accounts of their careers with their biographies, to show the extent to which legends have taken precedence over reality. A rebalancing of the scales.
