Dulle Griet

Rate this book
S’identifiant à la femme cuirassée du tableau de Brueghel, vierge destructrice et patronne des accouchées, l’autrice, enceinte de son pays natal, mène à terme un roman complet dans lequel le vécu se mêle à l’imaginaire. La mort de Jean Rolin déclenche chez elle le souvenir de l’enfance et des morts qui ont jalonné sa vie. Son épouvantable grossesse lui permet de ressasser son passé familial afin de mieux s’en délivrer, attribuant ainsi à l’écriture une vertu cathartique.

Dominique Rolin se fait l’ordonnatrice d’une orgie où morts et vivants, parents et enfants accomplissent les échanges qu’ils ont toujours refoulés.

About the author

Dominique Rolin

51 books3 followers
Dominique Rolin (22 May 1913 – 15 May 2012) was a Belgian novelist.

Her career was launched by Jean Cocteau and Jean Paulhan during the Second World War. Over some sixty years she developed a unique, feminist voice in French novel-writing, blending seamlessly autobiography and fiction, and centered on two men, her first husband, a sculptor, and avant-garde writer and theorist Philippe Sollers with whom, in spite of an age gap, she had a half-century secret relationship. She was a Femina Prize winner and a member of the Belgian Royal Academy.
