A debut to watch in this year's rentrée: Lucie Bérard's "Décolorer sa fille"
Télérama singles out the first-time novelist among this season's crowded field of new French fiction.
Among the hundreds of titles crowding this year's rentrée littéraire, Télérama has flagged Lucie Bérard as a first-time novelist worth following. Her debut, "Décolorer sa fille," is drawing attention for its treatment of the ambiguous bond between a mother and a daughter.
According to Télérama, the novel weaves together cinematic imagery and poetry to explore that relationship, though the outlet's summary gives no further detail on plot, setting or publisher.
The mention places Bérard among the writers singled out early in the rentrée as one to notice, a recurring exercise by which literary pages try to pick out the names likely to be discussed as prize season gets under way.
