1963: Jusqu’à la gauche

by | Updated on 07/05/2025 | Published on 04/05/1963 | 1962-1973 Je voulais être une femme, 2.1 Bibliographies, Autobiographies

Paris, Buchet / Chastel, 391 pages.

This book can be seen as the sequel to Je voulais être une femme, published the previous year. In any case, the literary process employed here is similar.

In this opus, our heroine immerses herself in the resistance to the Algerian war, and the epic is picaresque: Mamerloy, one of the main characters, would have been worthy of a place at the table of the villa Les pamplemousses in Toulouse, where Françoise spent a colorful youth with the most whimsical characters.

Mamerloy, she would later meet again on her path: it was Roland Perrot, who founded Longo Maï, today a fine cooperative collective that had sectarian beginnings, with him in the role of guru. Françoise fought against these excesses, and the case went national.

1963: Bonne nuit, cher prince

by | Updated on 06/05/2025 | Published on 04/05/1963 | 1962-1973 Je voulais être une femme, 2.1 Bibliographies, Miscellaneous novels

Paris, Buchet-Chastel, 278 pages.

“A writer (for want of a better word) with particular tastes in love, Nathan chooses to transpose himself into a female character to talk about his obsessions.

………

This is a novel with a double bottom, a game of mirrors in which a person moves relentlessly from life to dream, and literature to reality. The author of Je voulais être une femme has undoubtedly surpassed herself here in audacity and even brutality, but above all in pathos. “(4th cover)
