Title: Nothing Stands in the Way of the Night - Delphine de Vigan - book
Summary :
Elle Roman Readers' Prize 2012 - FNAC Novel Prize 2011 - France Télévisions Roman Prize 2011 - Renaudot High School Students' Prize 2011
"The pain of Lucile, my mother, was part of our childhood and later of our adult life, Lucile's pain undoubtedly constitutes us, my sister and me, but any attempt at explanation is doomed to failure. Writing can do nothing about it, at most it allows me to ask questions and to question memory. Lucile's family, ours therefore, has given rise to many hypotheses and commentaries throughout its history. The people I met during my research speak of fascination; I often heard it said in my childhood. My family embodies the noisiest, most spectacular aspects of joy, the tireless echo of the dead, and the reverberation of disaster. Today I also know that it illustrates, like so many other families, the destructive power of the Word, and that of silence. The book, perhaps, would be nothing other than that, the story of this quest, would contain within itself its own genesis, its narrative wanderings, its unfinished attempts. But it would be this impulse, from me towards her, hesitant and unfinished. In this dazzling investigation into the heart of family memory, where the most luminous memories rub shoulders with the most buried secrets, it is all our lives, our flaws and our own wounds that Delphine de Vigan powerfully unravels.

A reading like no other. In three acts and two dramatic twists, Guillaume Musso immerses us in a stunning story that draws its strength from the power of books and its characters' lust for life. “Guillaume Musso is a bewitcher who brings the impossible into his characters’ lives when you least expect it. Captivating.” Anne Michelet, Version Femina “A novel as dizzying as it is dense, a high-flying, illusionist exercise on the interactions of an author with his creatures. » Marianne Payot, L'Express “A Machiavellian and jubilant tale. Guillaume Musso has written one of his most personal novels. One of his best, too.” Sandrine Bajos, Le Parisien "Musso takes us on a journey of twists and turns and false leads, ending with a dramatic twist where we understand that we have been fooled from start to finish." Pascale Frey, Le Matin Dimanche "Guillaume Musso brilliantly returns to the craft of writing, inspiration, real life and imaginary... Life is a novel irresistibly brings to mind Romain Gary. » Alain Jean-Robert, AFP “A labyrinth in the style of the film Inception.” Déborah Laurent, 7sur7 "With [his] novels that make complex relationships between fiction and reality the driving force of criminal investigations, Musso plays hide-and-seek with literature and with readers."

A descent into the Iraqi abyss. A plea for the triumph of humanism.
"The blow having been fired, the die was cast. My father fell backward, his miserable sweater on his face, his belly gaunt, wrinkled, grayish like that of a dead fish... and I saw, while the family honor was spilling onto the ground, I saw what I must not see at all, what a worthy, respectable son, what a true Bedouin must never see - this softened, repulsive, degrading thing, this forbidden territory, tu, sacrilegious: my father's penis... The end of the line! After that, there is nothing, an infinite void, an interminable fall, nothingness..." Known and acclaimed worldwide, Yasmina Khadra tirelessly explores contemporary history, campaigning for the triumph of humanism. After The Swallows of Kabul (Afghanistan) and The Attack (Israel; Booksellers' Prize 2006), The Sirens of Baghdad (Iraq) is the third installment in the author's trilogy on the dialogue of the deaf between East and West. This novel clearly places the origin of this misunderstanding in people's minds.
