ÉCRIRE LA FAMILLE ROUMAINE EN FRANÇAIS

Two distinctive voices will explore memory, identity, and heritage. Laura Nicolae, winner of the 2024 Prix Robert-Cliché for her debut novel Rue Escalei, brings to life a Bucharest community during the communist era, where dramas and solidarities reveal the resilience of a marginalized world. Marie Khazrai, actress, director, and writer, delves into a lineage of women in a Romanian village haunted by tales, violence, and collective memory in her novel Poupées Roumaines [Romanian Dolls] (Les Avrils). In dialogue, the two authors weave intimate narratives and historical frescoes, illuminating both the real and imagined Romania, and how its echoes resonate far beyond its borders.
