« Comment puis-je laisser cette femme qui m'a tant aimé, qui m'a consolé, qui m'a fait des soupes et des moussakas, comment puis-je la laisser là ? » Dans « Les souvenirs », David Foenkinos traite avec beaucoup d'humour les moments graves d'une vie. Il sait comme personne trouver le détail qui enchante notre quotidien pour évoquer la vieillesse, le passage à la retraite, la vie conjugale. Tous les événements d'une vie qui forment les souvenirs. Loïc Corbery, de la Comédie-Française, donne vie avec délicatesse à ce récit sensible sur un sujet d'une gravité profonde et universelle.

Franz Kafka was one of the first and greatest masters of dystopian literature.
