Lydie Salvayre (Prix Goncourt 2014) is first and foremost a flamboyant, jubilant writer.
But it is also a formidable war machine against all forms of fanaticism and intolerance, past and present; against all masks, hypocrisies, careerism, cowardice, and sycophancy on all fronts.
A luminous war, in the name of life. Of freedom. Of poetry. His encounter with Don Quixote was only a matter of time. A meeting of minds.
The author, in anger, addresses Cervantes. But behind the feigned fury, one reads an immense declaration of love: to Cervantes, first of all, but also to Don Quixote, whom she makes the invigorating standard of freedom, a brother in Utopia, who imposes the dream in the face of a reality too narrow, whatever the price; a tonic declaration of love, also, to the salvific powers of literature.
