Maxime Chattam confides in Faustine Bollaert
This Friday, December 13, Maxim Chattam was a guest on the show Telematin pour talk about his novel. Damien Thévenot questioned the author about the role of Faustine Bollaert in his work:“We say to ourselves he is married to Fustine Bolléart so TV is something he knows, right?” he asked.
The writer then answered the question sincerely:
“Of course, no. Besides, it's the opposite. For a very long time I didn't want to write about TV for fear that people might say it's she who expresses herself through him. However, the world of television for a thriller author is very tempting, the arena is formidable. So it took me years before free myself from this idea and to tell myself that I could go there. Especially since I think people make allowances for things.” he continued.
“She made me better”
In the columns of Télé-Loisirs, Maxim Chattam had however revealed that his relationship with Faustine Bollaert was at the origin of the conception of this work: “This book wouldn't exist if she wasn't in my life, that's for sure and, beyond that, I wouldn't be the man I am today at 48 if she wasn't in my life. She made me better, I'm aware of it, and it's the least I can say.” he confided.
He then returned to his television consumption.
“I usually watch TV, but I actually watch it because I accompany my wife who is a television woman, who is curious about television. So, I often watch what she watches. And I'm interested in programs that I would never have watched otherwise. And I make some great discoveries”he concluded.
