    « les Rencontres » - entretien avec Alice Renard

    Écoutez la journaliste Lauren Bastide en conversation avec Alice Renard, autrice d’un premier roman, « La Colère et l’Envie », publié par les éditions Héloïse D’Ormesson en 2023, dans lequel elle explore la complexité des relations de l’héroïne, une adolescente neuroatypique, et son ouverture progressive au monde. Au fil de la conversation, Lauren Bastide et Alice Renard évoquent le sentiment de frustration à l’origine du roman et de son titre, le désir de l’autrice de célébrer la beauté du monde ainsi que le pouvoir émancipateur de l’écriture. Ensemble, elles reviennent également sur son goût pour la littérature du Moyen Âge et pour les différentes formes d’écriture, du théâtre à la poésie. 




    En marge des Rendez-vous littéraires rue Cambon, le podcast « les Rencontres » met en lumière l’acte de naissance d’une écrivaine dans une série imaginée par CHANEL et Charlotte Casiraghi, ambassadrice et porte-parole de la Maison.

    Literary Rendezvous at Rue Cambon invite Rachel Cusk

    For this thirteenth edition of the Rendez-vous littéraires rue Cambon [Literary Rendezvous at Rue Cambon] that was held at the 7L library in Paris, CHANEL and Charlotte Casiraghi, ambassador and spokesperson for the House, invited novelist and essayist Rachel Cusk, along with model and friend of the House Naomi Campbell.




    Moderated by author and critic Erica Wagner, this encounter dedicated to the work of Rachel Cusk considers motherhood, how to explore personal stories through literature and the rework of the literary form it requires: “I think I always felt that my duty was to reality and how the novel could show that and contain it.”

    "Les Rencontres" — interview with Huma Qureshi

    Listen to author and critic Erica Wagner in conversation with Huma Qureshi, writer of “Playing Games”, her first novel published by Sceptre in 2023. In her novel, the author draws a nuanced portrait of sisterhood, family, love and loss through the arc of two main characters, Hana and Mira. Throughout the conversation, Erica Wagner and Huma Qureshi evoke Alice Munro, Ann Patchett or even Ann Taylor, feminine writers who deeply inspired her to write about quiet, but significant, everyday moments. They also discuss how the author returns to the subject of real life informing fiction in “Playing Games”, a recurrent theme in her writing.

A Fiction Fan ,

A brilliant podcast with a captivating host

This podcast is a wonderful addition to Chanel’s beautiful work across so many media. Erica Wagner seems to me one of those rare hosts who is both wickedly intelligent but creates a safe, intellectual, welcoming space that invites the best writing insights and stories from her guests. Simply put, if you enjoy fiction, you will enjoy this podcast. Thank you, Chanel!
