To break through taboos can require a certain prowess. This prowess Neige Sinno has demonstrated twice. Once, when aged 19, she filed a lawsuit against her step father who raped her repeatedly from her 7th until her 15 birthday. Then again, when she published Triste Tigre -- which is clearly the book phenomenon of this literary fall.

"How do you conjure up a man whose memories and anecdotes - and aren't memories anecdotes? - would have upset him or made him angry?" asks Denis Podalydès in L'Ami de la famille, Souvenirs de Pierre Bourdieu, a formative account that is as moving as it is humble.

Since January 2023, Lola Lafon has written a monthly column for the newspaper Libération. These columns, enriched by more intimate texts in which the 'we' gives way to the 'I', form the core of this bookm, and put recent events and our way of dealing with them into perspective.

With a gentle melancholy, Florence Seyvos recreates the atmosphere of the 80s with the character of a man as flamboyant as he is eccentric, straight out of a Philippe de Broca film. This story of two teenage girls who discover the extreme vulnerability of adults has the colors of old Polaroids, both tender and heartbreaking.

Forest writes beautifully about the power of art, its magic, its ability to revive hope despite everything. Perhaps that's why "Et Personne ne sait" offers so much solace.

Nothing embodies the spirit of the holidays like the movies. This year, we've selected a few books about the masters of the 7th Art. It's time to (re)discover the American Friends of Bertrand Tavernier, the friendship of François Truffaut and Hélène Scott, the genius of André S. Labarthe and Serge Daney, or the against all tides opinions of Pauline Kael.
