«Cœur de pierre» is the novel by Pierre Péju, published by Gallimard in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Leïla, a high-school student, leaves everything behind to embark on a road trip with Schulz, a wandering man. They also cross paths with Ellen, Juliette, Mahler and Larsen, until Mémé la Noire, the «oracle woman», reveals the secret of their intertwined fates: an ironic and metaphysical tale about fatality, human relationships and the power of writing.
Pierre Péju is a French philosopher, novelist and essayist. Born in Lyon, he studied at the Sorbonne. He has published a number of works in different literary genres, the best-known of which are two prize-winning novels Le rire de l’ogre and La petite Chartreuse. Both titles are studied in French schools and lycees, and both have been translated into English, the former by Euan Cameron and the latter by Ina Rilke.
