Yannick Haenel reviewed on teaching, madness and solitude

Diacritik has published a review of a new book by Yannick Haenel that turns on the isolation of teachers, according to the site's own account.

The literary website Diacritik has run a review titled "Yannick Haenel : Un chant de solitude (La solitude des professeurs est infinie)", devoted to a new work by the French novelist Yannick Haenel.

According to the review's opening lines, as quoted by Diacritik, becoming a teacher is less a vocation than a form of madness, or at least a source of perpetual anxiety. Beyond that framing, the site's summary breaks off before detailing the book's plot, form or publisher.

No further information on the book's title as it will appear on shelves, its publication date or its publisher is given in the material available. Readers who keep track of Haenel's work, known for novels such as Tiens ferme ta couronne and Les Renards pâles, may want to watch for the full review on Diacritik.
