A debut novel finds poetry inside the factory floor
Anna Haillot's first novel, "Une bête à ton tour," was the subject of two France Culture segments this week, which described a story of industrial labor and what remains of the living within it.
Anna Haillot's debut novel, "Une bête à ton tour," was featured twice on France Culture on October 17: once in a wider-ranging segment of "Les Matins d'après," alongside unrelated items on all-terrain wheelchairs and climate predictability, and again in a dedicated interview for "Les Artistes de demain."
According to France Culture, the novel follows Sacha, a young woman confronted with the violence of work and the strangeness of the world around her. The program's description frames the book as an attempt to let poetry surface within an industrial setting, tracing what subsists of the living in a world that tends to erase it.
No publisher, release date or further plot details were given in the material available.
