Marianne (“A very republican first name”), fifty, loves libraries: “Happy little companies suggest that it can work well between people.” In 2018, she who appreciates the novels of Eric Vuillard , heard about this “libraryourbus” in which the writer boarded for a conference walk through the Seine-Saint-Denis. The operation was proposed by the off-bound festival, which organizes in April, for thirteen years, about a hundred literary meetings in the department’s media libraries. Marianne is mounted on board. He started Neiger with big flakes. She remembers like a fairy.

This Saturday, April 16, she is again there. The sun, this time, runs under a summer sky and, at the rendezvous facing the Gare du Nord, the tour operator is called Lydie Salvayre. The lattice has about twenty novels to his credit, whom not crying, Goncourt price in 2014, and stand up, published in 2021 at the threshold. They are a good twenty climbing into the bus; They will be thirty-five after the first halt-meeting, in Bondy; Forty-five to listen to the writer in Sevran; and a sixties arriving at the Cultural Center of Villepinte.

To give hearing his texts, Lydie Salvayre invited the comedian Marilyne Canto. The two women have never met, but the actress (heroin including manual Poirier or Dominique Chants Cabrera …) turned an episode of the H24 series in Arte in the fall: expulsion notice. Libred by the interpretation made by Marilyne Canto of this violent monologue, his ancient, former child psychiatrist, wrote a word. This is how friendships are born. And the opportunity finally brings them together.

In Bondy, Lydie Salvayre explains, smile mischievous, to the assistance hanged at his lips: “In the same way as it takes – as Deleuze said – Force thought to think, you have to force the literature to bite.

Two sisters, SNCF agents, who, children, were already in this room to read and work, recognized by Marilyne Canto Commissioner Dorval de la Series Alex Hugo. They approach it, affected by his reading, who had never heard of Lydie Salvayre before.

A Villepinte finally, the writer made herself, interpreting his text against, accompanied by the guitar of Benoist Bouvot. “Yet the libraries have a real concern to find their public before the pandemic”, notice the organizers of the festival, whose meetings continue until Saturday, April 23rd.

On the return, everyone takes over the place he spontaneously appropriate … The charm of group trips is that a half-day is enough to pass Status of unknown to that of friends. Nkoussou Tchoubou, 32 years old, lawyer in labor law, freshly installed in Rosny-sous-Bois, and Catherine Gorge, 61 years old, from Montreuil, now form with Marianne and Sonia an inseparable quartet. One should put the whole of France in a coach.
