LEmmanuel Venet's new tale blends Greco-Roman mythology with the story of a young doctor in 1981, who wanders between disappointed love affairs, attempts at writing and preparation for a competitive examination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In an interview with T\u00e9l\u00e9rama<\/em> In 2003, the Italian intellectual and writer Umberto Eco declared that \u00abevery writer is always recounting the same obsession\u00bb, i.e. he or she is always torn in the writing of his or her works by the same image, motif or
as in Man's most secret memory<\/em> by Mohammed Mbougar Sarr, where the hero, Di\u00e9gane Latyr Faye, a young writer, is obsessed with the mysterious author T.C. Elimane and his mythical book, The labyrinth of the inhuman<\/em>, and set off in his footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A personal odyssey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One could say that the novel Virgil doesn't care<\/em>, the latest work by psychiatrist and writer Emmanuel Venet, is in the same obsessive vein. The story unfolds from 1er<\/sup> January to December 31, 1981, a very important year for the story's anonymous narrator. As a sixth-year medical student, he alternates between \u00abacting as an intern\u00bb for the boastful Professor Mortillon, studying for the competitive examination to become an intern, and falling in love, notably with the mysterious Alexia Maurer. Also in 1981, the election of Fran\u00e7ois Mitterand shook up a France in the midst of the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
