Title: “I promise myself dazzling revenge” - An intimate reading by Charlotte Delbo - Valentine Goby - 2019 - book

Summary:

In 2011, as Valentine Goby considered writing her novel "Kinderzimmer," a camp survivor recommended she read the work of Charlotte Delbo. Valentine Goby had never heard of this woman, born in 1913, a communist sympathizer, resistance fighter, political deportee, and survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Ravensbrück. Yet, discovering her work was a revelation. Soon, the poet became a point of reference for her, a traveling companion. It was she who allowed her to enter Auschwitz through the power of language, making her endeavor to write fiction about the camps acceptable and legitimate. It was also she who revealed to her that it was possible to leave "Auschwitz through writing."

In this vibrant homage to literature and the power of language, Valentine Goby probes and explores the words of someone who, like herself and her characters, has chosen to prefer life.
