Since she was 16, Auvergne Cécile Coulon has continued to impress the literary world. Recognized by the public and institutions alike, winner of numerous competitions, including the prestigious Prix Apollinaire, for Brambles (2018), this year she is writing a new novel The Language of Hidden Thingspublished by l’Iconoclaste.
In this work, we follow the mysterious journey of a young man gifted to heal the suffering of men and animals that doctors and priests have abandoned.
This boy will be called to an isolated village to go to the bedside of a sick child in order to heal him. A story worthy of a tale, rather dark, which will notably question and plunge the reader into the darkness of the human condition.
A human condition that Cécile Coulon attempts to decipher in her book via observation: “The language of hidden things, it is the language that we begin to learn and understand. Once we shut up, once we stop talking and focus on all the details, on bodies, on the way people look at each other, the way people move on everything that is not said.”
This book is a metaphor for writing
Cécile Coulon
An analysis of human behavior that the author wishes to develop in each of her works.
“I try to learn all the pages of the lexicon of this implicit language. This book is a metaphor for writing, it is the novel of learning, the initiatory passage of what writing is and above all of what “is writing for others,” she concludes.
