Twenty-eight-year-old Julie Ruocco, a former Literature student with a degree in International Relations, worked at the European Parliament for five years. Passionate about digital cultures, she has published a work of aesthetic philosophy: “And if playing was an art? Our aesthetic subjectivity put to the test of video games” (L’Harmattan, 2016). “Furies” is his first novel, he was awarded the “Sent by post” prize.
“The destinies of a young archaeologist, misguided as an antiquities trafficker, and a Syrian firefighter, who has become a gravedigger, collide with the experience of war. Between what she unearths and what he buries, he there is the story of a people who rose up and believed in their revolution.
Contemporary variation of “Oresties”, a first novel with a poetic and powerful verb, which intelligently addresses the disenchantments of history and “the courage of rebirths”. A salutary tribute to the women who made the Arab revolutions.” (Presentation of Editions Actes Sud)
