It all started with a « Guardian » article, when Paul Thurin discovered that a medieval nun had faked her own death to escape convent.

Who was Joan ?

We found a few answers in this novel: a woman who wanted to celebrate the beauty of the world by growing savory vegetables, by cooking and singing; a woman who wanted to see her own body while there was no mirror in the convent; a woman who wanted to have the freedom to live, learn and love when she wanted to.

Joan was living seven centuries ago. So many women are still locked and prevented from living their own lives… Her freedom is an inspiration, as well as a wonderful captivating escapist story.

Rights already sold: Paperback (Livre de Poche), Italian (Salani) by Stock.

📚🌸- We have recently started representing the young and talented Ariane Jousse and we couldn’t hope for a better start: TERREUR, her first novel, will launch and define the new collection from Éditions de l’Ogre, Ogresses: fictions deeply rooted in our times that forge new archetypes.

After a critically acclaimed first book published in 2019, Ariane has penned a brilliant novel that tells the story of a woman consumed by an obsession: discovering what happened to M.V., a cinematic diva who vanished without a trace. Her only clue is the last film that M.V. worked on before disappearing. The mirror effect skillfully created by the author depicts the unsettling forces that tremble beneath the surface of the simple act of looking - and being looked at. Enigmatic, TERREUR seems to echo Patricia Highsmith’s question, « are all women nothing but symbols »?

« I wanted to tell the story of a woman who manages to save herself by observing another woman. Initially captivated by the disappearance of an actress she knows almost nothing about, the heroine gradually becomes passionate about the actress’s final role, and then about how it was conceived. TERREUR highlights the dual emancipatory power of the female gaze and of fiction. » Ariane Jousse

Ariane Jousse was born in 1992 and loves cinema. She lives in Paris, where she teaches literature. Her first book, La fabrique du rouge, was published by Editions de l’Ogre in 2019. TERREUR, her first novel, will be published the 10th of January and BAM will be handling foreign rights.

📚💝 - We are very proud to say that author Jeanne Benameur asked us to become her primary agent. We therefore handle all foreign and audiovisual rights on her two new books, one novel, one essay, to be published by Actes Sud in January 2025.

Her latest novel at Actes Sud, « La patience des traces », sold 90,000 copies (hardback + paperback editions). It was licensed to E/O in Italy and Spectrum in the Netherlands.

The novel, « Vivre tout bas », and the essay « Vers l’écriture », are very much intertwined and we will leave it to her to explain how:
“When I decided to publish Vivre tout bas and Towards writing together, I had no idea how much these two texts would resonate with my own life. It’s always once things are written that they truly reveal themselves. (More in comments )
