Christine Angot's 'Normalement' Released Amidst Muted Media Response
Christine Angot's latest book 'Normalement' has been published with notably less media fanfare than her previous work 'L'Inceste', which had been heavily promoted. The reduced publicity campaign is attributed to the book's less scandalous nature. Despite the lack of attention, the book contains a standout forty-page story titled 'La Peur du lendemain', which explores violence, cowardice in groups, and eroticism. Angot's prose is described as precise, breathless, and angry but weary of settling scores, now focused on love, lending her writing a new tenderness. The review also notes the reissue of her 1997 novel 'Les Autres' by Stock.
