«Une éducation catholique» is the novel by Catherine Cusset, published by Gallimard in paperback (131 pages, in French).
Marie recalls her Catholic upbringing in a family divided between a believing father and an atheist mother. That tension marks her childhood and youth; during those years desire awakens through successive passions and love is lived first as torment and then as redemption.
Originally published in 2014 in Gallimard's nrf collection. The cover bears the subtitle «roman».
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in conflicts between faith and atheism, religious education and sentimental formation.
Catherine Cusset is a best-selling French novelist and the author of Life of David Hockney: A Novel, The Story of Jane, and 12 other novels published by Éditions Gallimard between 1990 and 2018. Some of her novels are described as autofiction, a French literary movement that is a hybrid of fiction and autobiography. Others are more romantic, but all share some recurring themes: the family, desire, and cultural conflicts between France and America. She stands out from her contemporaries with a direct, incisive, visual form of writing, marked by the influence of Anglo-Saxon novelists.
