<\/a><\/p>\nAmong the literary releases in January, one of our favorites is Franck Ruz\u00e9’s novel. Set against a very contemporary backdrop, the novel deals with prostitution among female students. <\/p>\n
The pitch: Tennessee is a psychology student. She works as a clandestine prostitute in a luxury agency. She doesn’t believe in love or feelings, only in the price they fetch in a society where everything is for sale. It’s her observation, her analysis and her weapon to protect herself from the violence of the world and the fear of getting hurt. <\/p>\n
Right from the start of the book, the reader is plunged into the middle of Tennessee’s conversation with a client who is about to deflower her. No observation rounds! The rest of the novel unfolds in short, fast-paced scenes. <\/p>\n
We follow the disillusioned journey of a young girl who sells her charms with a special touch…. She sells her virginity, which she then surgically restores. For her, “virginity is just a little piece of meat that breaks off, that’s all”. <\/p>\n
It’s all very chilling at times. This young girl is at the heart of a whirlwind of violence. This violence is that of liberal society, with its law of supply and demand. <\/p>\n
Tennessee also opens up to a psychoanalyst, revealing her flaws without much conviction. The relationship she begins with Xavier, a student, seems complicated. The story of a young girl in search of meaning. <\/p>\n
In short, a novel that can be read in one sitting. The story of our time. <\/p>\n
