About the author
Gwenaëlle Aubry
26 books7 followersGwenaëlle Aubry (born 1971) is a French novelist and philosopher.
She studied at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in the Rue d'Ulm and at Trinity College, Cambridge. She graduated with the Doctor of Philosophy. She lectured in ancient philosophy, at the Nancy 2 University, from 1999 to 2002, a research fellow at CNRS since 2002. She taught philosophy at the Paris-Sorbonne University.
She has published several books and articles on ancient philosophy and its contemporary reception, and translated Plotinus.
She is the author of five novels: The Devil spotter is the story, haunted by the figure of Persephone, of the passion of a teenager for a mature man; The Detached was the story told by 'a young woman, Margot, distant sister of Florence Rey, from the prison where she is incarcerated. She says her love for Peter, her experience of rebellion and radical rejection. The voice of this prisoner, which still resounds in isolation, is a story about prison, bereavement and deprivation.
Resident of the Villa Medici in 2005, she wrote a novel on the ugliness in our lives, through the inner monologue of an ugly woman on the aesthetic discourse of indifference of the beautiful and the ugly. Following this, she composed an anthology, The (dis) taste of ugliness.
She adapted for France Culture, a radio play of The Death of Virgil, by Hermann Broch.
In 2009, she won the Prix Femina for Personne, a story about her father who suffered from manic-depression. From the diary he kept which she found after his death, and also her own memories, she traces the fragmented portrait of a man who was a stranger to himself and the world.

3/4 Paralelni način pisanja o dvije djevojke,različite kulture i nacionalnosti,na trenutke mi je bio dosta težak. I sama tema p potlačivanju i žrtvovanju-terorizmu je zastrašujuća.Treći,posljednji dio knjige ,pročitala sam sa grčem u želucu.

"Podjele" sam gotovo progutala. Knjiga me je potresla, rastužila, često užasnula, duboko dirnula. Priča od dvije 17-godišnje djevojke, Židovki Sari i Palestinki Leili, koje fizički nevjerojatno sliče, a čiji se korjenito različiti životi na kraju ipak isprepletu. Nažalost - zauvijek, u smrti.
Gwenaëlle Aubry napisala je priču o nečemu, za što svi mislimo da o tome dovoljno znamo, ne da nam se više slušati vijesti o "tim Židovima i Arapima" tamo negdje u Izraelu, Palestini, gdje već. Ludi su jedni i drugi. Jedni druge kolju, uništavaju, bacaju kamenje, mladi ljudi postaju samoubojice, uvjereni da će kao mučenici završiti u raju, posebno ako im među žrtvama, uz Židove, bude još koji Amerikanac.
Ali zapravo znamo tako malo. Najmanje o njihovim unutarnjim previranjima, mukama kroz koje (u sebi) prolaze zato što su, eto, jedni rođeni kao Židovi (bilo gdje na svijetu, ali se onda odluče živjeti u Izraelu), a drugi kao Arapi (a posebno Palestinci, koji se već kao mala djeca igraju "mučenika" koji sretno ubijaju "proklete Židove što su nam ukrali zemlju"). Sve je to previše strašno, mučno i žalosno. Uvijek se trudimo govoriti i ponašati se kao da nam je cijela Zemlja dom i kao da naša nacionalnost, vjera, država u kojoj smo se rodili nisu prvo i jedino što nas određuje. U ovoj priči, nažalost, ispada da to jest prvo i najvažnije. I da se zbog toga životi gube kao novčići, oni mali "petoparci" što smo ih skupljali kao djeca.
Stil Gwenaëlle Aubry je poseban, poput misli koje samo teku, ponekad se izgubite u njima, ali vas ona brzo vrati. Sjajna, dojmljiva knjiga.

Un roman superbe, violent et lumineux, sur la guerre larvée entre Israël et Palestine. Tous ont tort, tous souffrent au delà des mots, au delà de Dieu, présent dans chaque parole mais absent de tous les actes. Les destins croisés de jeunes filles qui auraient dues être amies mais qui ne se rencontrent que dans une tragédie dont Jérusalem est le décor. L'écriture est riche et fluide et les dernières pages sont tout simplement superbes. Un livre dur comme une pierre jetée

j’ai énormément aimé ma lecture. autant l’écriture de l’auteure extrêmement poétique et belle. que l’histoire en elle-même, les chemins croisés.
c’était des fois durs à lire, il y avait beaucoup de violence, de souffrance, de colère et c’est ce qui fait la puissance de ce roman.

Un beau livre que j'ai mis du temps à aimer ayant le sentiment, au début, de lire une suite d'articles du Monde sur Israël et la Palestine.

Une histoire triste, lourde. Tres bien ecrit mais tragique.
