FROM THE WINNER OF THE PRIX GONCOURT 2016!

In collaboration with the weekly newspaper Le Un, Éditions de l’Aube is proud to publish this collection of essays and short stories written by Goncourt prize-winning author Leïla Slimani, whose works shall be published in over 25 languages.

« Leïla Slimani won the prix Goncourt 2016 for her novel Chanson douce published by Gallimard. From the release of her first novel, Dans le jardin de l’Ogre, also with Gallimard, she was widely praised and found commercial success. This book regroups her writing for Le 1. Six little gems, each one drafted with a sharp writing style, infused with an impressive strength, and observations made with great finesse. Whether it’s a short story à la Tchekhov like Le diable est dans les détails – or engaged works like Intégristes je vous hais, written with urgency and rage the day after the attacks of November 13, 2005. »
Éric Fottorino, Editor-in-Chief, LE 1
