Zabou Breitman & Lydie Salvayre

Self-portrait in black ink

Actress Zabou Breitman reads Lydie Salvayre's latest book. A clear-sighted self-portrait, in which literature seems to be the only country that counts. Sensitivity, generosity and humor feed the inner barometer of one of our greatest contemporary novelists.

Lydie Salvayre reveals herself as never before in Autoportrait à l'encre noire, published by Robert Laffont. An intimate, savory text of great freedom, in which the author confronts the landscapes of her memory and imagination with force and irony.

Lydie Salvayre doesn't tell her story to flatter herself, but to tap her foot, like a flamenco dancer, in the anthill of propriety, vanity and cowardice. We applaud her.
Jérôme Garcin, Le Nouvel Obs.
