14.01.2022 Join French authors Olivier Vojetta and Antoine Rouchier as they discuss all things writing and literature this Saturday 14 November! This will be a Facebook live event, so you can join from the comfort of your own home Tune in at 9pm (11am Paris) by following this link: https://fb.me/e/4T20iyMqv Olivier will talk about his new book "Courir Encore", which is a story of resilience, love, and trust. You can purchase the book from us see a full synopsis of the book (in Frenc...h) below. C’est le voyage d’un homme qui vient de perdre son fils et qui s’enfonce dans son monde intérieur au fur et à mesure qu’il se rapproche de sa destination finale, du début de sa nouvelle vie, la ligne de départ du marathon. Il n’a pas assisté à l’enterrement, pour la simple raison qu’il n’y en a pas eu. Et pour cause : Hippo est mort dans le ventre de sa mère. Ce récit profond et intime entrouvre une porte sur une dévastation qui commence pour le père le jour de la mort de son fils, et dure encore. Le père ne dévoile presque rien sur sa famille et en dit très peu sur sa propre biographie. Ce n’est pas le sujet. Il essaie d’attraper une ombre qui s’échappe constamment mais qu’il porte en lui en chaque instant. Courir encore : poème en prose sur le deuil impossible et la mélancolie au long cours.
