Rights sold to: Sweden (Elisabeth Grate)Because I know that we desire in the same way as we have been desired, I have drawn up a list of the men, women, images, feelings and works of art that have made me the person I am.
This is a book of portraits, covering many years (from 1972 to 2009). Covering many cities (Algiers, Paris, Berlin, Zurich, Abu Dhabi...). Portraits connected by an endless search for love.
It is a book about life, a book that is alive, a book that fights, a book you could also hear and whose intimate geography you could feel in relief, a geography of emotions.
I wanted to reconstruct what memory preserves. What makes up who we are or who we are not.
Enlightening an adult life with early childhood and the demons of youth. Each stage having its effect on the others.
Each stage explaining the others. As if desire were an identity. As if it were a country all of our own. A wild and limitless territory.
It is also a book about freedom. The freedom to love or to stop loving. - Nina Bouraoui
Nina Bouraoui was born in Rennes in 1967. She is the author of La voyeuse interdite (Gallimard, Livre Inter Prize, 1991) and, at Stock, Le jour du séisme, Garçon manqué, La vie heureuse, Mes mauvaises pensées (Renaudot Prize, 2005), Poupée bella, Avant les hommes and Appelez-moi par mon prénom.
