L'œuvre de Noémi Lefebvre explore l'intersection complexe entre le personnel et le politique. Ses romans examinent comment l'identité individuelle est façonnée par les forces sociales et historiques. Grâce à un style aiguisé et perspicace, elle dévoile les complexités des relations adultes et de la perception de soi. Son écriture offre une analyse provocatrice de la manière dont les destins personnels s'entremêlent avec des contextes politiques et culturels plus larges.
A contemporary novel of angst and high farce, Blue Self-Portrait unfolds among Berlin's cultural institutions but is more truly located in the mid-air flux between contrary impulses to remember and to ignore. Noemi Lefebvre shows how music continues to work on and through us, addressing past trauma while reaching for possible futures.
In this new novel by the acclaimed author of Blue Self-Portrait, a poet- narrator existing on a diet of cannabis, bananas and books on oppression under the Third Reich muddles through a national state of emergency. Their ten lessons to today's young poets form a blistering treatise on survival skills for the wilfully idle.
