Jérôme Garcin's notebook: Del Amo turns to Goya, Lilia Hassaine rewrites Jane Eyre
In his weekly column for Bibliobs, Jérôme Garcin looks at two new books: Jean-Baptiste Del Amo's "Une éclaircie" and Lilia Hassaine's "JE," a subversion of Charlotte Brontë's novel.
Writing his regular notebook for Bibliobs, part of Le Nouvel Obs, Jérôme Garcin discusses two recent titles. According to the column, Jean-Baptiste Del Amo entrusts an account of his own illness to the figure of Goya in "Une éclaircie."
The second book Garcin turns to is Lilia Hassaine's "JE," which the column describes as a subversion of Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre." No further detail on how Hassaine reworks the Brontë text is given in the source material.
For readers who keep the classics on their shelves alongside new French fiction, the pairing is a reminder that this year's rentrée includes at least one direct dialogue with a canonical English novel, filtered through a contemporary French writer's own title, "JE."
