What a great success this meeting organized by Le Passage d’Alençon bookstore Come in Amelia Nothomb and its readers, this Wednesday, November 24, 2021 at the Halle aux Toiles.
The winner of the Renaudot 2021 for “First Blood” has sold out!
Interviewed before the signing session by Rémi (“who presented me very well”, confided the author some time later), Amélie Nothomb underlined that a literary prize “is a” plus “given by people. who do the same job ”.
“A magical love story that has lasted for 29 years”
In this case, for her, this Renaudot earned her “to be recognized” by her peers.
Because, let’s be honest, relationships between writers are often abominable! Especially if you are successful! Behind the smile, there is jealousy. But this time, the twelve writers of the jury put their jealousy and their contempt on pause and said to themselves: “Deep down, we like Nothomb”!
She also warmly greeted her audience in Alençon:
I have the impression of living a magical love story for 29 years but it is also a great anguish because I do not consider it acquired so I say to myself: “My old woman, you had better be up to it. everyday !” Great anguish.
At the end of this presentation, she gave a long signing session to her readers, giving each of them a word of encouragement, special interest and above all a sincere thank you.
