Colette Brogniart, known and recognized for her biographies of Léo Ferré, has just completed her latest work called “2 Dés et l'Éternité” published by Sinope Éditions. At the crossroads of burlesque and tragedy, this novel is a biting reflection on art, identity, and resistance, in an era where superficiality reigns. Besides, she had to describe through writing her vision of artists of a certain talent, of those who put ribbons around the alphabet and take their words out into the street to get some fresh air, where a few verses are enough to remake the world. Colette offers a scathing, critical view of a group of dissident artists, Alex, Manuella, Simon and Thanaz, characters who lead an improbable quest to save the arts and words.
The “Colette Brogniart” style is immediately recognizable, imbued with a singular voice and a marked personality, the author uses a rich vocabulary, original figures of speech and a construction of sentences that are specific to her by pushing the limits of literary genre, shaking up established codes. It is undeniable that this novel sets her apart in the landscape of great literature, itself subversive of reality, but she does so with a sensitivity and intelligence that touch the heart of the human experience.
Colette Brogniart is a complex and fascinating personality; it must be said that her life journey has been marked by unforgettable encounters and extraordinary events. “2 Dice and Eternity” will have an impact and it is certain that his work will inspire and influence many authors.
