Conversation
Amphithéâtre

The work of Maylis de Kerangal – publisher, novelist and short-story writer, winner of the 2010 Prix Médicis – focuses heavily on places and their transformation: a lake, a mine, the construction of a bridge, the reconstruction of a city. Un jour de ressac recounts the narrator’s return to Le Havre, which allows the character’s memories and those of the city to be traced in parallel. Memories, reconstructions, traumas: the novel is an investigation, a foray into the layers of the past.
