the French writer presents his latest book at Grenoble
The French writer Vincent Message arrives in Naples and on December 3rd he will present his latest book “Cora in the spiral” at the French institute in Naples.
After meeting Annie Ernaux, the French institute of Naples Grenoble brings another important author to the city, Vincent Message that always for L’Orma Editore – Italian publisher also of the author of “L’evento” and “Gli anni” as well as a lot of French literature – came out with the book “Cora nella spiral” which tells the story of “a woman of our days” who finds herself to have to face the crisis triggered by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the collapse of Wall Street with all that entails readjusting to such a change.
“Cora in the spiral”, the writer’s third book, published in France in 2019 for Seuil, however, is the first book that Vincent Message has published in Italy and for L’Orma. Parisian, born in 1983, Message is a professor of comparative literature at Paris-VIII and co-director, since 2013, of a master’s degree in creative writing and at a literary level, he moves between thriller and dystopia. The French writer will be the protagonist of a meeting with Professor Giuseppe Merlino, a Frenchist, and the translator of the work, Nicolò Petruzzella which will be held on Friday 3 December starting at 6 pm at the Institute’s headquarters in Via Francesco Crispi 86.
Message’s book, therefore, starts from the failure of Lehman Brothers and the collapse of Wall Street which led to a domino effect also in the rest of the world, including France and, as we read on the L’Orma website:
Whirlpool Naples, the workers’ anger: the Government does not show up at the Mise table
Upon returning from maternity leave, Cora Salme, employed in the marketing sector of the Parisian insurance company Borélia, finds herself struggling with new bosses and with a much more competitive and suffocating environment than the one she had left. The watchwords are optimization, renovation, restructuring. Navigating between the office, her partner Pierre and little Manon, Cora painfully tries to invent a space for herself, but without realizing it she ends up falling into a spiral from which she cannot escape. Then on a June morning everything falls apart and the drama that has been in order for months arrives, irremediable.
