“Men”, the fourth novel by Emmanuelle Richard questions, without detours and with her frank pen, feminine and masculine desire. A powerful feminist novel, which probes with its lively gaze, patriarchal violence, equality, bodies, passion, and sexuality.
It is an incandescent novel. A book crossed by burns. The one who branded you one day with a hot iron, and whose scars never heal. But also those of everyday life, which no longer surprise anyone because they seem to be inscribed in the rock of patriarchy.
It’s an incandescent novel also because it drinks from anger and revolt, from this feminism of combat that some will consider androphobic, even misandre. A feminism that today gives rise to so much debate and controversy in a country like France and no doubt in a good part of the Western world.
Finally, it is an incandescent novel, because it is nourished by the flames of desire, which the burning, cash and sometimes abrasive writing of Emmanuelle Richard knows how to maintain and raise.
“Men”, the new novel byEmmanuelle Richard was published by Editions de l’Olivier.
