On Avocados đ„

Jun 10, 2024 | aliciakennedy.news | Yemisi Aribisala |Colombe Schneck |Alicia Kennedy

Living in the Caribbean where avocados grow means Iâm well aware of their seasonal nature: Either there are avocados, or there arenât. I could go looking for the imported varieties, but I donât love avocados enough to warrant going against Mother Earth in this way. Iâll eat them when theyâre around, and itâll be one of those seasonal food thrills, and then I wonât think about them again for a while.
How Annie Ernaux Inspired Me to Tell My Own Abortion Story

May 14, 2024 | lithub.com | Colombe Schneck

I read Annie Ernaux’s Happening, her account of her clandestine abortion in France, when it was published in 2000. In 2000, I was 34 and a mother. I had given birth at the chic clinic in Paris where I had also been born; my son was already accepted to the private school where all my friends wanted to enroll their children, and where I myself had been educated; I lived surrounded by antiques carefully assembled from my husband’s family and my own, and tasteful modern design. Our walls were taupe.
Droit à l'IVG : Colombe Schneck rencontre le ministre de la Justice pour Vogue

Mar 8, 2024 | vogue.fr | Colombe Schneck

“Je passe mon bac dans un mois. Je suis enceinte. J'ai peur”. Tels sont les mots qui introduisent Dix-sept ans de Colombe Schneck, sur lequel l'influence d'Annie Ernaux est évidente. C'est dans un article publié dans l'Humanité qu'elle rencontre un texte où le prix Nobel de littérature 2022 s'adressait aux femmes de la génération de Colombe Schneck, qui “avortent dans le silence”. Des mots qu'elle prend très personnellement, elle qui a avorté à 17 ans en 1984.
SWIMMING IN PARIS

Feb 17, 2024 | kirkusreviews.com | Colombe Schneck |Kristin Hannah |Colm Toibin

No pulled punches here, just truth. Insight into a Frenchwoman’s life from the woman who lived it. Colombe Schneck, the narrator of each of these three assembled novellas, engages in a careful dissection of various stages of her life. That the book’s author is also named Colombe Schneck provides some clue as to how close to the bone Schneck is cutting here.
Writer Lauren Elkin on remembering to touch base with yourself

Feb 16, 2024 | thecreativeindependent.com | Colombe Schneck |Lauren Elkin

You’ve written and published a lot of nonfiction, often centered on women’s bodies in space and your own body in space, so I’m curious to just know a little bit more about how you feel your body exists in space, especially when you’re writing or thinking about writing. Are you very aware of your body while you’re writing or while you’re thinking about writing? I probably am more than most because I have chronic headaches, chronic tension headaches.
Isabelle Huppert : "On a tous quelque chose à cacher, actrice ou pas"

Feb 16, 2023 | madame.lefigaro.fr | Colombe Schneck

Et si le mystère Huppert était un paradoxe… À la fois une retenue et un sens viscéral du jeu ? Interviewée pour ses rôles dans La Syndicaliste et Mon crime, la voici dans toute sa superbe. Dans toute rencontre avec Isabelle Huppert, aussi agréable, amicale soit-elle, il y a une sorte de combat. Elle protège un mystère, se disant sans mystère, un secret, s'annonçant sans secret. Elle dit «mes proches», ne laisse aucune prise à une question personnelle.
