characters bullied by life. In Le Coeur
régulier / Heart regular, Sarah,

confirmity of a family life that kills her. The author’s beloved themes (grief,

Alain Finkielkraut
« In his books, Alain Finkielkraut constantly calls on writers such as Kundera, Grossman, Dostoïevski or Camus. For him literature represents of course a way to clarify reality and life. But, what is really at stake here, in his writing, is also a certain art of inheriting and recording the past, in order to take care of it and teach it. Finally, it’s the necessity of « living according to nuance » as Roland Barthes says, an expression which Finkielkraut particularly cherish. To him, who wants to understand the world in its very complexity must first avoid abstract speeches and any theoretical spell, and leave it to the truth of the novel. »
