The Swedish literature magazine Vi Läser has published an article on the Franco-Rwandan writer Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse, in its November 2024 issue.


The article is illustrated by a photograph taken last September during her visit to Stockholm to promote her book Tous tes enfants dispersés (Autrement, 2019), published in Swedish under the title Alla dina skingrade barn by Ordfront (2024), in a translation by Nils Wadström.







You can read the full article in the latest issue of Vi Läser (nr 6-2024), available from your newsagent.




 


Written about the book..:


Throughout her magnificent first novel, Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse delicately tames ghosts and silences (Gladys Marivat, Le Monde des Livres).


The novel is a poignant meditation on the violence that ruptured so many lives (Lucy Popescu, The Guardian).

Stéphane Heuet is a French cartoonist. He is the screenwriter and designer of the comic book adaptation of À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time) by Marcel Proust.


His desire is to open up the formidable prose work for audiences who have yet to experience it.


In 2020, Stéphane Heuet is the winner of the Grand Prix Hervé Deluen awarded by the French Academy for his adaptation of Marcel Proust's literary work.


The photographs of Stéphane Heuet were taken at his home in Paris, March 2023.
