Yasmina Reza publishes a book she calls a novel but that reads as a self-portrait
In "Nos divertissements sont terminés," the playwright and novelist turns, for the first time, toward her own childhood and family.
Yasmina Reza's new book, "Nos divertissements sont terminés," is presented as a novel, but according to Jérôme Garcin's column in Bibliobs (Le Nouvel Obs), it amounts to her first self-portrait, opening up episodes of her own childhood and family history.
Garcin writes that Reza "laisse accroire" that the book is fiction — lets it be believed that it is a novel — while in fact drawing directly on autobiographical material she had not previously put on the page.
No further detail on the book's structure, length or publisher is given in the available material.
