Linda Lê, transfigured – In G major

Tribute to Linda Lê, who died on May 9, 2022… We don’t hear her coming, her books knock on our door quietly and now they are making a place for themselves in our cocoon, planting a little concern there. Yes, since Such a tender vampire his first novel, we know that whispering voices are disturbing. Born in Vietnam in 1963, from the French High School in Saigon, Linda Lê immerses herself entirely in an absolute and literary land… (Rebroadcast of March 21, 2021).

Regularly awarded (let us mention the Renaudot prize for the pocket book for To the child I won’t have) and translated into several languages, as much to tell you right away, this novelist flees the media, presents herself as a bear lying downand yet her small brown fringe is sitting in the armchair of‘In G Major avec the hope of evoking his last two books, one on the 7 deadly sins (All the anger in the world), the other on the unreason of a recently deceased mother, entitled I will never answer for anything again...
