107 ANS de DIASTÈME
ENGLISH "Diastème invites us, with a violent and romantic
text, to follow Simon's adventures, a complex and very endearing character." " I wanted to tell a story in which time, unlike
adage, doesn't heal the wounds, a story about absolute love, both funny
and terrifying, that can make us laugh, like life makes us laugh, scares
us, hurts us. I wanted to see how far we could go for love, when we were
ready to dedicate our life to it, when we were ready to go to the end. 107
ANS, it's the story of a boy crazy in love with a girl. The story of Simon
and Lucie. " " A lot, passionately, to the point of craziness…Loving
Lucie to the point of losing lucidity, it's Diastème third novel's theme,
made famous by theatre and its successful play La nuit du thermomètre
(nomination at the Molières 2003 for Fréderic Andrau and Emma de Caunes).
Back then we already knew Simon, who this time has a double role of
protagonist and narrator. And one of a crazy lover, in all senses." The hero is so close to us that with him, we explose,
we self-sabotage, we laugh in order not to drown. And with him, we fall.
In his dry style, sharp, the writer brings us back to the nostalgic time
of absolute love, the first, love to death." "With 107 ANS, Diastème hits to the heart. He
confides in us, makes us hear, brutally, the his hero's delirium. However,
the hero has the verve, the humor, the originality of the unforgettable
narrator of The Catcher in the rye, Simon is a suicidal Holden Caulfield,
crazy in love, desperate, but he is as endearing as the character that
Salinger created." "A crude, harsh and violent story, that disturbs
us, but that puts forward the talent of a writer to push the reader in the
heart of feelings." |
