Can we become the author of our own existence, or does reality inevitably catch up with us? This is the question that Isabelle Carré attempts to answer in her third novel “Le Jeu des if” published by Grasset. A nested story, a literary portrait of a multifaceted woman.
On the banner that surrounds the book, we recognize her with a camera in her hand, in front of a bathroom mirror. His face appears three times. Once in front, and twice in profile, through this game of mirrors which is basically a reflection of the construction of his new novel.
Between the imaginary and the reality, between the dream and the nightmare, between the truth and the pretense, between the writing of oneself and the appropriation of the other, Isabelle Carré, tells and hides herself in the vagueness which separates or unites the author and the actress.
” The game of ifs » ofIsabelle Carre is published by Grasset editions.
