What makes you dream ?, The editorial of Carole Boinet

What is exciting is to see so many new stories, new denial signatures in this literary school year. However, It is very exciting. Furthermore, since one could have started from the principle that with the explosion of social networks, new modes of consumption of “content”, the books would disappear. Similarly, As if some were opposed to the others.

So yes, reading tends to decrease, that’s for sure. Nevertheless, But the appetite of the authors does not weaken. Furthermore, Young people always say to themselves today that the literary form is best able to express what they. Furthermore, they want to say, shout, howl. Meanwhile, That there is only this place as they and what makes you dream ?, they can do it. Similarly, This is exciting. Moreover, Not that it is a question of preserving a form to leave an ancient world intact. Similarly, in a nostalgic, even conservative movement. Moreover, No, it’s not about that, at all. But rather to defend a space with very troubled, very porous borders, which allows writing and therefore reading to arise.

Personally, I do not know many sensations as strong as that of reading. That these words on a page that instantly immerses me in someone. in his way of thinking, breathing, loving, suffering, seeing. These words on a page that show me the other, finally. This connection with an unknown that is created. almost instantly, with the language which is never the same, which unfolds at deeply different rhythms.

Duras loved Proust. because he allowed him to be Proust by reading his books: “Proust, it’s me When I read In what makes you dream ?, the shade of young girls in flowers. This is where we could To say that when we read Proust. we write it, we have the feeling of writing, we participate, in short, and in the world of Proust and in its implementation. We enter the universe by the doors left by him. ” * Nothing to add.

In this literary school year, enthusiasm is there, lightning. This is why we have chosen to highlight a “new wave” of authors. authors, whose first or second pounds shake up matter, thought, look at the world we live in. Books that very often are self -fiction, fiction now allowing to take self -telling further, stronger. As Rebeka Warrior says, who publishes his first book: “Real does not exist when you write. It is impossible to rewrite reality. It is in fact deformed.” So many corrosive, offbeat, innovative looks. Because, let’s never forget, literature what makes you dream ?, is – as much as intimate – political.

This is precisely what I liked at Salomé Lahoche. a young BD discovery at the bend of her Instagram account before I devour her books. By telling himself, Salomé Lahoche tells an era, with her paradoxes, her political violence … I am delighted that she joins these pages with a monthly chronicle in the form of a spicy. touching abected.

From politics. we are talking about our great interview with the humorist Malik Bentalha, who opposes the Bolloré system, all-capitalism, and fervently defends freedom of expression. Asked about the title of his work What are you looking for? Adrien Le Bot. one of the authors of the start of the school year, replies: “We are looking for, I’m looking for, something, but what? It is also a question that I would like to turn to my readership. What feeds your curiosity? What what makes you dream ?, bothers you in all these stories, what makes you dream?” I join him to send you these questions, two years from the next presidential election.
