About this listen
Pendant une grande partie de sa vie ma mère a vécu dans la pauvreté et la nécessité, à l'écart de tout, écrasée et parfois même humiliée par la violence masculine.
Son existence semblait délimitée pour toujours par cette double domination, la domination de classe et celle liée à sa condition de femme. Pourtant, un jour, à quarante-cinq ans, elle s'est révoltée contre cette vie, elle a fui et petit à petit elle a constitué sa liberté. Ce livre audio est l'histoire de cette métamorphose.

Story
J'ai rencontré Reda un soir de Noël. Je rentrais chez moi après un repas avec des amis, vers quatre heures du matin. Il m'a abordé dans la rue et j'ai fini par lui proposer de monter dans mon studio. Ensuite, il m'a raconté l'histoire de son enfance et celle de l'arrivée en France de son père, qui avait fui l'Algérie. Nous avons passé le reste de la nuit ensemble, on discutait, on riait. Vers six heures du matin, il a sorti un revolver et il a dit qu'il allait me tuer

Story
"Pour les dominants, le plus souvent, la politique est une question esthétique : une manière de se penser, une manière de voir le monde, de construire sa personne. Pour nous, c'était vivre ou mourir." Édouard Louis. Ce texte bref est d'une extrême intensité, due à la violence des sentiments exprimés, plus aimants que haineux. La haine, si haine il y a, est adressée aux "dominants", aux responsables politiques et économiques de la souffrance individuelle d'un homme qui n'a pas sa place dans le monde et qui veut aimer sans le pouvoir : le père de l'auteur.

Story
En quelques pages, à la première personne, Annie Ernaux raconte une relation vécue avec un homme de trente ans de moins qu'elle. Une expérience qui la fit redevenir, l'espace de plusieurs mois, la "fille scandaleuse" de sa jeunesse. Un voyage dans le temps qui lui permit de franchir une étape décisive dans son écriture. La lecture sensible de Françoise Gillard de la Comédie-Française met en valeur ce texte clé de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux qui éclaire son rapport au temps et à l'écriture.

"Depuis des années, je tourne autour de cet événement de ma vie. Lire dans un roman le récit d'un avortement me plonge dans un saisissement sans images ni pensées, comme si les mots se changeaient instantanément en sensation violente. De la même façon entendre par hasard "La javanaise", "J'ai la mémoire qui flanche", n'importe quelle chanson qui m'a accompagnée durant cette période, me bouleverse."

Après la Libération, le couple s'installe au Maroc à Meknès, ville de garnison et de colons. Tandis qu'Amine tente de mettre en valeur un domaine constitué de terres rocailleuses et ingrates, Mathilde se sent vite étouffée par le climat rigoriste du Maroc. Seule et isolée à la ferme avec ses deux enfants, elle souffre de la méfiance qu'elle inspire en tant qu'étrangère et du manque d'argent.

Story
"J'ai voulu l'oublier cette fille. L'oublier vraiment, c'est-à-dire ne plus avoir envie d'écrire sur elle. Ne plus penser que je dois écrire sur elle, son désir, sa folie, son idiotie et son orgueil, sa faim et son sang tari. Je n'y suis jamais parvenue." Dans "Mémoire de fille", Annie Ernaux replonge dans l'été 1958, celui de sa première nuit avec un homme, à la colonie de S dans l'Orne. Nuit dont l'onde de choc s'est propagée violemment dans son corps et sur son existence durant deux années.

"Il ne faut pas sous-estimer la rage de survivre." Sous la forme d'un conte, Amélie Nothomb raconte la vie de Patrick, son père, doux enfant angélique qui, jeune adulte, devra se confronter à la mort. Un magnifique hommage à la figure paternelle mais aussi à un héros de l'ombre, diplomate à la carrière hors norme. Avec ce 30e roman, Amélie Nothomb signe un de ses textes les plus personnels, qu'elle a choisi de confier à Françoise Gillard. Une lecture toute en douceur et sensibilité.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
