Emmanuel Carrère, an influential figure in literary non-fiction, visits the CCCB to discuss the intersections between literature, autobiography, and reality. Known for his compelling narrative style that blends elements of novel, autobiography, and reportage, Carrère engages with his own life experiences—the moral dilemmas, obsessions, and contradictions that inform his work. His new book, 'Kolkhoz', revisits his family history through the lens of his mother, Hélène Carrère d'Encausse, a remarkable figure in Parisian intellectual circles and a long-time secretary of the Académie Française. He is recognized for pushing the boundaries of narrative by seamlessly incorporating his perspective into the storytelling, akin to the works of Truman Capote and Annie Ernaux. During this event, simultaneous translation from French to Catalan will be provided, making the discussion accessible for a broader audience.
