Le Regard Libre N° 34 - Loris S. Musumeci
Hold on to your crown, Bakhita, The Art of Losing and Agenda formed a quality shortlist for the irreplaceable Prix Goncourt. On November 6, it was finally Agenda by Eric Vuillard. Here's a look back at the impression made by this atypical but powerful short novel.
«The Sun is a cold star. Its heart, thorns of ice. Its light, unforgiving. In February, the trees are dead, the river petrified, as if the spring no longer vomited water and the sea couldn't swallow any more. Time stands still. In the morning, not a sound, not a bird song, nothing. Then an automobile, another, and suddenly footsteps, silhouettes we can't see. The stage manager strikes three, but the curtain doesn't rise.»
