Title : Hunger Refrain - Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio - Book

Summary :

"My mother, when she told me about the premiere of Boléro, spoke of her emotion, the shouts, the bravos and the whistles, the tumult. In the same room, somewhere, was a young man she never met, Claude Lévi-Strauss. Like him, long afterward, my mother confided in me that this music had changed her life. Now I understand why. I know what this repeated, drummed phrase, imposed by the rhythm and the crescendo, meant to her generation. Boléro is not a musical piece like the others. It is a prophecy. It tells the story of anger, of hunger. When it ends in violence, the silence that follows is terrible for the stunned survivors. I wrote this story in memory of a young girl who was, in spite of herself, a heroine at twenty." JMG Le Clézio.
