The setting: a bar nicknamed Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s-La Ponche, the golden light of late afternoon, and an effervescence of ideas driven by figures such as <strong>David Foenkinos<\/strong>, <strong>Sophie Fontanel<\/strong> and <strong>Nathalie Azoulai<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">\u201cCarnes\u201d, a work of flesh and shadows<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>No southern folklore here<\/strong>, but dense prose between Marseille and Paris, where the women invented by Esther Teillard fascinate as much as they disturb. Born on the Catalan beach, half-vulgar half-divine, her \u201ccagoles\u201d become powerful archetypes of a complex femininity. <strong>Violence is poetic<\/strong>, the ugly becomes sublime, and every scene exudes an almost tactile energy. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DKCLcuHNQNz\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\"  background:#FFF;
