This Tilting World by Colette Fellous (English) Paperback Book

Description: This Tilting World by Colette Fellous, Sophie Lewis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In this rich and timely work, Fellous writes in a style reminiscent of her teacher, Roland Barthes, of her complicated Jewish childhood, her recent friends death, and of feeling she has to leave the country she thinks of as home, Tunisia, where a terrorist just yesterday killed 83 tourists. Publisher Description On the night following the terrorist attack that killed eighty-three tourists on the beach at Sousse, a woman sits facing the sea and writes a complicated love letter to her homeland, Tunisia, which she feels she must leave forever. She also writes of her personal tragedies--the deaths of her father, a quiet man, and of another lifelong friend, who just weeks ago died at sea, having forsaken the writing that had given his life meaning. Part of a trilogy on the history of Tunisias Jewish community, Fellouss story nods to Proust and encompasses a multitude of colorful portraits, sweeping readers onto a lyrical journey from Tunisia to Paris to a Flaubertian village in Normandy, full of the voices of loved ones now silent. Written with echoes of Roland Barthess gorgeous fragmentary texts, such as A Lovers Discourse and Camera Lucida, Fellouss creative memoir is at once a political and cultural portrait of a region that has sat at the center of world history for millennia, as well as a search into her own memory, emotions, and family history. Author Biography The author of more than twenty novels, including Aujourdhui (2005), for which she received the Prix Marguerite Duras, and La Préparation de la vie (2014), in which she pays homage to her mentor Roland Barthes, Colette Fellous lives between France and Tunisia. A former publisher, and a radio producer for France Culture, she is also a photographer. This Tilting World is her first book published in English.
