Yannick Haenel turns his years as a teacher into a new novel
In Le Monde's literary column, critic Tiphaine Samoyault singles out "La solitude des professeurs est infinie" as one of the rentrée's more striking books, praising its energy and humor.
Yannick Haenel has published a new novel, "La solitude des professeurs est infinie," drawing on his own years teaching at a middle school in the Paris suburbs, according to Le Monde.
Writing in Le Monde's literary column ("feuilleton littéraire"), critic Tiphaine Samoyault says several passages of the book are, thanks to their energy and their humor, already "cult" in feel. The review does not detail plot beyond the teaching background, but the framing points to a book built from classroom life rendered with comic force.
No publisher, page count or release date beyond the review's publication this week is given in the source. The novel arrives amid the current rentrée littéraire, the autumn wave of new French fiction that Le Monde and other outlets track closely each September.
