ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The acclaimed author of Art and A Savage God dazzles with "one of her most beautiful books" (Paris Match, ) in which her life intersects with that of several criminals. "I have seen in the courts what has always obsessed me: the imperfection of life." Yasmina Reza Yasmina Reza, acclaimed novelist and playwright, has attended court proceedings throughout France for more than fifteen years, perhaps the closest thing to theater that exists in real life. With her keen eye for detail, she unfolds the real stories of characters who see their lives crumble before the justice system. While portraying passions and vendettas worthy of great novels, her readers understand with a chill that we too could have committed those crimes and discover those that the author herself has unwittingly committed over the years. In scenes from her private life in cities such as Paris, Berlin, Venice, and Budapest, Reza demonstrates once again why she is one of the most gifted voices to speak about life and its imperfections.

A family's quest to make sense of their shared history. A bittersweet exploration of love, loss, and the chaos of sibling relationships. When family bonds are tested, humor and heartbreak collide. A 2021 novel by esteemed French playwright Yasmina Reza, Serge tells a family story that revolves around three siblings of Hungarian–Jewish descent. As Serge, Jean, and their sister Nana embark on an unexpected road trip to Auschwitz and Birkenau they take along one of their daughters and plenty of complicated family history. What begins as a solemn trip quickly devolves into a chaotic mix of personal grievances, sibling banter, and awkward confrontations. Set in the present tense, the story is both a meditation on dying and memory and an exploration of how we love and hate those closest to us. Reza masterfully portrays the messiness of family life, where love and resentment intertwine, and the weight of shared history looms large. She probes themes of generational trauma, midlife crises, and the absurdities of modern existence and explores how everybody handles these situations differently. Serge is a richly layered tale that is as reflective as it is humorous—a testament to Reza’s unique ability to find humanity in the chaos.

«Vi var unge. Vi visste ikke at det var ugjenkallelig. Nå er jeg sekstito år gammel. Jeg kan ikke si at jeg har evnet å være lykkelig her i livet, jeg kunne ikke gitt meg selv karakteren fjorten av tjue på min dødsdag, som en kollega av Pierre som sa ok, greit, vi sier fjorten av tjue, jeg for min del ville nok heller sagt tolv, for hadde jeg gått lavere, ville jeg følt meg utakknemlig eller vært redd for å såre noen, så jeg ville ha jukset og sagt tolv av tjue. Men hva gjør vel det fra eller til når jeg ligger under torva? Ingen kommer til å bry seg det døyt om hvorvidt jeg har evnet å være lykkelig her i livet, og selv vil jeg jo gi fullstendig blaffen.» Elisabeth, som har slått seg til ro i en rolig middelklassetilværelse, bestemmer seg en dag for å invitere til en liten vårfest i leiligheten sin. Blant de inviterte er naboene fra etasjen over: Jean-. Lino, som hun har blitt kjent med i trappeoppgangen (for ingen av dem liker å ta heisen) og kona hans. Under selskapet kommer Jean-Lino til å fornærme sin kone i alles påsyn, og midt på natten, lenge etter at de siste gjestene har forlatt festen, banker han igjen på døra til Elisabeth. En uopprettelig tragedie har inntruffet siden sist. Det som starter som en beretning om middel.klassens livslede, slår over i en høyst original psykologisk thriller spekket med underfundig humor og skarpe skildringer av mellommenneskelige relasjoner. Yasmina Reza (f. 1959) er en internasjonalt anerkjent fransk forfatter og dramatiker. «Babylon», hennes fjerde roman, ble kortlistet til Goncourt-prisen og ble tildelt Renaudot-prisen i 2016.

Another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the award-winning novelist and playwright Yasmina Reza. "I was bored with my husband," says Anne-Marie, the irrepressible voice of Anne-Marie la Beaut , "but you know, boredom is part of love." Mostly she is speaking here of her more famous friend and colleague, the French actress Giselle Fayolle, in whose shadow she has spent her career. "My life was a near miss," she adds, before explaining that she enunciated well because "I loved to say the words." A very short novel with the power and resonance of a much longer one, Anne-Marie the Beauty is a profound and moving act of remembrance, a clear-eyed assessment of the hard-edged nature of fame, a meditation on aging--and a wonderfully observant and comic exploration of human foibles. In short, another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the peerless Yasmina Reza.

« Chez ma mère, sur sa table de chevet, il y avait une photo de nous trois rigolant enchevêtrés l’un sur l’autre dans une brouette. C’est comme si on nous avait poussés dedans à une vitesse vertigineuse et qu’on nous avait versés dans le temps. »
