Bistrot littéraire avec Jonathan Zaccaï et Sammy Lussan

On the programme:

Surexposé by Jonathan Zaccaï (Grasset)

Paul and Laetitia have just unpacked their bags at the Bounty Club, a Cape Verdean seaside resort, hoping to spend a dream vacation there. But that is without counting on Paul's unpredictable nature. His stay is upended when a compromising photo of him, taken at the hotel, is posted on social networks by an anonymous profile. Paul falls into a full-blown paranoid spiral. Who exposed him?

While he is living a nightmare, Laeticia, a celebrity wellness life coach, seems to be thriving. Paul realizes that his wife might no longer be his ally. And what if the truth was more violent than anything he had imagined?

A crazy thriller where the appearance of luxury and happiness barely conceals the cowardice of men.

Bernie Leibovitz by Sammy Lussan (Les belles Lettres)

At 33 years old, Bernie has succeeded at everything, except wanting to continue. An advertising executive, he followed the expected path. Yet, overnight, he can no longer stand his life. The office, the metro, his neighborhood. Everything has become too much. So he leaves. Not to find himself. To escape. In Japan, he frequents bars, clubs, concerts and hotels. He unplugs, putting his daily routine at a distance. But it doesn't last. In a world where nothing resembles him, he understands that the problem is not his life. It's him.

Combining text and photographs, Bernie Leibovitz is a stark, lucid and uncompromising coming-of-age novel about a generation that has learned to analyze everything but no longer truly knows how to live.

The meeting concludes with a signing session at the Librairie Wallonie-Bruxelles
