Rencontre - L'écriture du corps

WRITING THE BODY with Fabienne Jacob.

"The confused warmth of bodies and sheets, the haphazard movements of limbs in the night, and suddenly, in the folds of dawn, stumbling upon something infinitely soft, human skin, the miracle of human skin, the silkiest organ in creation, but where in the world does this softness come from?" Fabienne Jacob's books, a collection of short stories and several novels published by Buchet-Chastel (Corps, Les louves, Un homme aborde une femme, Ma meilleure amie, etc.), are all pervaded by the question of the body. Her writing, organic and singular, unfolds as close as possible to sensations, embracing their rhythm. By exploring some of her books, Fabienne Jacob questions the links she weaves between writing and perceptions.
