«Avec Mollie» is William Finnegan's non-fiction account of climbing, published by Éditions du sous-sol in paperback (144 pages, in French).
The author of «Días bárbaros» recounts how he accompanied his daughter Mollie in her initiation to climbing when she proves to be a young prodigy. As she becomes a coach and mentor, Finnegan must push his limits to keep up with her pace. The book traverses that world from New York gyms to the walls of Vermont, Mexico and Canada, and explores climbing as a counterpart to his passion for surfing and as a shared learning of danger.
French-language edition of 2021 published by Éditions du sous-sol. It belongs to the imprint's «Feuilleton non fiction» collection.
