Autrice de référence dans la littérature jeunesse/ado, Marie-Aude Murail a conquis mon cœur il y a bien longtemps grâce aux valeurs que véhiculent ses romans, ainsi que par l’humour désopilant dont elle fait preuve et qui ne l’empêche pas de traiter de sujets sérieux. Zoom sur 3 de ses romans.

Papa et maman sont dans un bateau de Marie-Aude Murail
Encore un livre de Marie-Aude Murail qui ne déçoit pas! On retrouve dans ce roman jeunesse de 2009 les préoccupations sociales, politiques, genrées et familiales qui animeront la série Sauveur & Fils plus de 10 ans après.

I really, really didn’t like Homebody. I remember reading Honey 3 or four 4 years ago and really enjoying it. But I just couldn’t with Homebody. I think my favorite part of the collection was the drawings even though they don’t add much to the poems.. Even though I agree wholeheartedly about the message behind the poems, I really couldn’t get over their shallowness. I think Homebody is the…
A Little Life is everything except for little. It’s raw, violent, realistic and unforgettable. Chapter by chapter, this novel digs into the notion of humanity by scrutinizing the lives of four friends (Willem, Jude, JB, Malcolm). However, it also tackles broader themes such as love, family, justice, fate, and work.
