Author: Colombe Schneck.
This evening at 7 p.m., on the occasion of the publication of the novel La trilogía de París (The Paris Trilogy), the award-winning author Colombe Schneck and the literary critic and essayist Mercedes Monmany will present the Paris of post-May ’68 with powerful portraits of women at the Instituto Francés in Madrid.
The intelligence shines with such freshness that it overwhelms: irreverent, profound, poignant and iconic, Colombe Schneck writes with the hurtful vitality of the greatest French women authors.
She uncovers post-May ’68 Paris, where rich, liberal girls think they’ve achieved everything, yet continue to spend their time fantasising about which men will love them, and work hard to sweep their fears and boredom under the carpet.
This trilogy elegantly and very personally traces three events that punctuate Colombe Schneck’s life and that could reflect that of any woman: an abortion, which will mark the relationship with sexuality and one’s own body; a friendship, which will define the bond that is established between two equals; and a love, or the eternal search for union with the other.
A teenage girl from a good family has to cope with an unwanted pregnancy. A friend dies, after a lifetime of camaraderie. A woman falls in love at fifty, but feels the same anguish that has always accompanied her.
