Like last week, perfect equality between the entrances to the list of fictions and those of the tests: five everywhere, that is to say that the best sales vary these days. In this case, in this week from March 3 to 9, it is Swiss Joël Dicker who takes the first step of the podium with his youth novel The very catastrophic zoo visit (Rosie & Wolfe).
A very beautiful start therefore for this mid-investigative fiction half societal societal which deals with both democracy and inclusive education and parent-teacher relationships. The starting point is simple: on Christmas Eve, a school visit to a zoo turns to disaster. A novel which, with its several levels of reading, intends to transcend generations. Second entrant, War by other means (Gallimard), the new novel by Karine Tuil who also had very promising beginnings. After the box of Human thingsInterallié Prize and the Goncourt of 2019 high school students (440,000 copies sold all formats combined, according to Edistat) and The decision (339,000 copies) published in 2022, we no longer doubt: Karine Tuil is now one of the stars of contemporary fiction. It is true that the themes of his new fiction, the games of power and cinema, the horrors of old age, the violence against women, are more than carrying.
She, Adèle Yon, is much less known but this normalienne, researcher in cinematographic studies and kitchen chef in Sarthe certainly prints this back to school with her first book titled My real name is Elisabeth (Editions du Sous-Col, 16th row). Or a family survey born of secrecy surrounding the disease of her great-grandmother Elisabeth, known as Betsy, diagnosed with schizophrenic in the 1950s. Then, in 18th place, comes a perfect sample of the ROMANTASY, Adrian x Isode (t. II). The queen of myth and monsters (Hugo Roman) of the American Scarlett St. Clair. Finally, closing the ball, Sinno snow which performs the delicate exercise to publish the “novel after” the triumph of Sad tiger (255,000 copies for the only large format at Pol), Femina and Goncourt price of high school students 2023. With RealidadYouth travel story in Mexico, sharp with her novel on incest, she seems to have succeeded in her turn.

Without transition, here, in the 9th place, the work of the philosopher Manon Garcia. The author of We are not born submissive: we become (2018) publish Live with men. Reflections on the pelicot trial (Climats). She explains so: “When I discover the crimes committed on Gisèle Pelicot, I know that all the philosophical questions that are mine are condensed in this story. I hesitate to go to the Mazan trial. Then I obviously make myself: I must write this trial and the experience that I do, as a philosopher and as a woman. And try to answer this question: Then come two works on health: Your optimized health. The daily protocol that will change your life (Marabout, 10th row) of Belgian neuroscientist Emilie Steinbach and Your anti -stress prescription to protect your heart (Leduc, 15th) of cardiologist Pierre Setbon.
