If you ever go shopping this literary season, you can stock up on essentials. Thanks to a single novel, where it is a question of joy, daydreaming, assumed madness, political utopia and marvelous escape…
Only things that bring nothing to big capital, Nadia Yala Kisukidi to the art of Dissociation (title of his novel published in Le Seuil). A concept that has nothing autobiographical, although. Born in Brussels between the evidence of philosophy and the passion for literature, the Kisukidi (Yala for those close to her) knows a lot about the plural world. This specialist in Bergson’s thought and postcolonial studies (mistress of conferences at Paris 8) has a penchant for stubbornness and great escapes, heading towards the Imaginary. More than a word, the imaginary is a territory (we know) that terrifies the leaders of our world.
