Title : The Eternal Fiancé - Agnès Desarthe - Book

Summary :

What does a life look like?

For the narrator, it is a declaration of love between two four-year-old children during a music class.

Or meeting them in the middle of winter, forty years later, on a street in Paris.

We could also mention acrobatic rock'n'roll, the death of a mother, a contemporary art exhibition, a wedding for laughs, a summer day in the countryside or the secret life of a gigolo.

These scenes - and many others - are the images in which are recorded the moments of an existence which, without them, would be irrevocably doomed to oblivion.

Because everything that is not written disappears.

To ward off oblivion: this appears to us to be one of the meanings of this novel animated by an extraordinary vitality, alternating falls and rebounds, collapses and triumphs, melancholy and exaltation.

A major work by a novelist passionate about the invention of forms, The Eternal Bridegroom confirms her exceptional talent: that of an author who has sworn to amaze us - and to worry us - by offering us a world in perpetual disagreement.
