Legal columnist at Le Monde, Pascale Robert-Diard publishes with “La petite menteuse”, a first high-level pleading novel. A book that raises the question of lying and its consequences.
For twenty years, Pascale Robert-Diard has been telling readers of the newspaper Le Monde about the greatest trials, taking us into the little theater of the courtrooms, painting portraits of the most brilliant lawyers and the most famous defendants, sharing with its readers the flame of the greatest pleadings.
Her very beautiful pen, she puts it today at the service of a novel that raises many questions. On the sometimes tricky game of appearances, on the relationship that our society has with the figure and the word of the victim. But also on the lie and the truth, and therefore on what is called the famous “judicial truth”; on the aporias and evolution of feminism in the post #MeToo era.
“The Little Liar”, the first novel by Pascale Robert Diard is published by Editions de l’Iconoclaste.
