Filmmaker Yolande Zauberman turns to memoir in "No pogrom last night"
In a new autobiographical book, the director known for her documentaries writes about the experience of occupying an impossible place, with the shadow of Kafka never far off, according to Le Monde.
Yolande Zauberman, best known as a filmmaker, has published "No pogrom last night," an autobiographical account that Le Monde describes as both funny and profound. The book explores what it means to live in what the paper calls "une place impossible" — an impossible place — a theme the review says runs through the whole narrative.
According to Le Monde, the presence of Kafka hovers over the book, though the paper does not specify how the reference plays out — whether as a direct citation, a structural echo, or simply a sensibility the reviewer detects in Zauberman's prose. The review characterizes the writing as hypersensitive, suggesting a memoir attentive to nuance and unease rather than a straightforward chronicle.
No further detail on the book's plot, publisher, or length is available from the source material.
