“About twenty books, as many translations, decades of work and passion. My whole life is here, there is no need for other images. My face will in no way express everything that is here. From the first published text, La cité Atlee, in a 1973 anthology, and the first collection of short stories, Solstices, published in 1977, to the latest novel, Manger l'autre, published by Grasset in 2018. It is a long, slow journey to the heart of words, sentences, dreams, obsessions, violence, and silence.”
