“Tu seras \u00e9crivain mon fils” by Fran\u00e7ois B\u00e9gaudeau.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe author of “Entre les murs” returns to the literary scene with a mischievous little opus. In this little 123-page essay, B\u00e9gaudeau uses a lexicon to show us how to become a “real writer”. And, as you’d expect, all in the second degree. It’s a jubilant exercise in self-mockery. The author dismantles the great myths of literature and desacralizes the writer’s place in society with great humor. The small world of publishing is also under attack. <\/p>\n

Some tasty extracts:
\n“You will be a writer if you talk like a writer; if you talk the way the choir thinks a writer should talk; if, answering an interview, you draw on the corpus of beliefs, myths, superstitions, which for two or three centuries have erected, against the backdrop of the celestial vault, a Goddess of literature.”<\/p>\n

Vocation
\n“Writing is a vocation from birth. The writer is called, like the priest by God, like the teacher by the rector of the Acad\u00e9mie, like Fadela Amara by Nicolas Sarkozy.”<\/p>\n

Coeur
\n“There are few critics who are also writers, except those who are also publishers.<\/p>\n

Money
\n“The writer is content with the bare minimum: a table, a pitcher, a chair, some paper, a laptop, the ninebox. He has little money and doesn’t try to earn any.”<\/p>\n

“Tu seras un \u00e9crivain”, Fran\u00e7ois B\u00e9gaudeau
