Title : Some hearts give up for next to nothing - Gilles Paris - book
Summary :
"I know specialized clinics. I've rubbed shoulders with them like you're ripping your skin off, raw. Psychiatric hospitals are full of people who have given up, smoking cigarettes on a bench, their eyes blank, their shoulders slumped. I was one of them." One depression is not like another. Gilles Paris fell eight times and, eight times, got back up. In this story, in which he spares no effort, the author attempts to understand the origin of this melancholy that has gripped him for more than thirty years. A family story, a divorce, the violence of his father. There is also writing, which heals as much as it calls forth the emptiness after the publication of each of his novels. Perhaps it was necessary to stop hiding behind fictional characters to finally experience deliverance. "It's not the trials that count, but what we do with them," he writes. With this testimony, all chiaroscuro, by putting words to his suffering, the writer offers us a story with a luminous ending. Because there is no shadow without light. We just have to find it.
