Pierre Mérot, né à Paris le 16 décembre 1959, est un écrivain français.
Il est diplômé de l'Institut d'études politiques de Paris.
Après avoir exercé divers métiers dans le journalisme et l'édition, il devient enseignant en 1997.
Il est l'auteur de plusieurs fictions assez dissemblables. Ainsi, Mammifères, qui l'a révélé au grand public et a reçu le prix de Flore 2003, raconte les tribulations alcoolisées et souvent comiques d'un quadragénaire, « l'oncle », dans les grands domaines de la vie sociale : l'amour, le travail, la famille . Auparavant, dans un registre très différent, Petit Camp décrit en cent quatre-vingt-dix fragments numérotés une sorte de communauté utopique et cauchemardesque : ce récit inclassable est, selon Dominique Noguez q ...more

Quotes by Pierre Mérot (?)

“Δεν παύουμε ν' αγαπούμε αυτούς που αγαπήσαμε. Αλλά από άνθρωπο σε άνθρωπο, από κομμάτι σε κομμάτι, μας αρέσει να πιστεύουμε πως ανασυνθέτουμε σταδιακά ένα παζλ και πως μια μέρα θα σχηματιστεί ένα πρόσωπο. Και πως δεν θα έχουμε πια ανάγκη να ψάχνουμε. Μόνο που στη θέση της συνολικής εικόνας δεν έχουμε παρά την πιο πρόσφατη, κι αυτή δεν διαγράφει τις προηγούμενες. Καμία μορφή δεν λησμονιέται, καμία δεν μας συγκρατεί. Γι' αυτό και η ζωή μας δεν είναι μια διαδοχή από αποτυχίες αλλά μια αβέβαιη κατασκευή ολοκληρωτικά δοσμένη στην αγάπη.
Πόλεμοι γίνονται, μοναξιάς προς μοναξιά. Λαβωμένοι συγκρούονται με άλλους λαβωμένους, και με διακύβευμα την αγάπη. Αυτό που καταλογίζουμε στον άλλο δεν είναι ότι μοιράζεται με μας την ίδια πληγή αλλά ότι βρήκε τα ίδια αντίδοτα. Αγάπη είναι όταν ο καθένας πιστεύει πως ο άλλος βρήκε ένα φάρμακο διαφορετικό, και πως θα τον γιατρέψει. Όμως τον περισσότερο καιρό αγωνιζόμαστε ενάντια σε πλάσματα που μας μοιάζουν υπερβολικά, που υποφέρουν όσο κι εμείς, και ως προς αυτό είναι ακατανίκητα.”

“Nas semanas que precederam sua instalação você viveu principalmente à noite. Você mantém seu ritmo e seus costumes por algum tempo. Já na terceira noite, você leva para lá uma mulher que conheceu vagamente, uma habitué do Moloko. Jamila tem vinte anos. Arrasta-se todas as noites pelas boates. Mora com uma tia, no subúrbio. Está com a gargante inflamada. Às cinco da manhã você lhe oferece sua hospitalidade. Ela preferiria que você a levasse para casa, mas você não tem mais carro. Durante a noite, você acaricia vagamente os seios dela. Ouve um grunhido sonolento. Não acontecerá mais nada. Transar com ela ou zelar por seu sono, tanto faz. Em ambos os casos você vai ter a ilusão de tê-la conhecido. Em todo caso, o álcool já lhe deu todas as satisfações do mundo. Você está com trinta e cinco anos, tem diplomas, um passado sólido, uma família burguesa que ela não tem. Mas ela é uma náufraga como você. Para ela, o fracasso é um dado social insuperável que ela sem dúvida arrastará consigo a vida inteira. Para você, é um abismo luxuoso e provisório.”
