«Journal d'un corps» is the novel by Daniel Pennac, published by Gallimard in paperback (400 pages, in French).
The narrator notes in his diary everything his body experiences from age 13 to 87: pains, desires, illnesses, clumsiness and small pleasures. What seemed a secret and non-transferable garden ends up showing itself as common territory: what is usually kept silent appears without shame and much anguish becomes material for laughter. Pennac avoids clinical coldness and weaves a novel with characters, dialogues and everyday scenes around the evolution of the organism.
The work was published on February 9, 2012 in Gallimard's Blanche collection; the cover includes the nrf logo.
For readers interested in contemporary French literature and introspective narratives about the body.
Daniel Pennac is a French writer. He received the Prix Renaudot in 2007 for his essay Chagrin d'école.
