Summer Reading No. 8 - In absentia, by Jean-Louis Coatrieux

For this latest edition of our summer reading, we have chosen... an unclassifiable. One of those UFOs of literature, which refuse to join the traditional sections of our libraries.

In absentia , by Jean-Louis Coatrieux, is in some way an imaginary (but not fictional) dialogue between the author and authors who have influenced him: Nazim Hikmet, Federico Garcia Lorca, Pablo Neruda. The common thread between these three personalities? Resistance, the rejection of the world as it is in favor of a world " as they wanted to create it, free, luminous, insolent". In absentia is therefore also a reflection on literature and its relationship to the world. All written with a very poetic pen. An unclassifiable work that deserves a special place in our libraries.

In absentia, by Jean-Louis Coatrieux, is available as an ebook (PDF, ePub, Mobi) for €6.99 and in paperback for €13.
