«Deux secondes d'air qui brûle» is the novel by Diaty Diallo, published by Seuil in paperback (176 pages, in French).
On the margins of Paris, a group of friends —Astor, Chérif, Issa, Demba and Nil— share their daily lives between parking lots, rooftops and housing blocks, with a pyramid as a point of reference. They suffer daily police harassment until, one summer night, one of them is shot dead during an intervention. The tragedy triggers a collective, methodical and unexpected revolt.
Subtitled «roman», the work was published on August 19, 2022 in Seuil's Fiction & Cie collection.
Recommended for readers of contemporary French fiction interested in social fiction about the Parisian periphery.
