Lionel Estève - Mauvaise Haleine - La Muette 2023
After publishing a first novel, an author questions the value of his memories, in a monologue interspersed with anecdotes.
"Little of what we say is our own. Often, what we say is no more than a borrowing, a repetition of what we've learned or heard. Only these little remnants belong to us, and they're just poor stories, tiny events. Paradoxically, I find this chatter generous. We have to accept, when fighting against the ugliness of the world, that there is no shiny victory."
