«Avant que t'oublies tout» is the memoir by Claude Sarraute and Laurent Ruquier, published by Plon in paperback (258 pages, in French).
Claude Sarraute reviews her life and memories in conversation with Laurent Ruquier. The volume moves between autobiography and interview, with French journalism and literature as a backdrop, and evokes personal memory before oblivion takes it away, as its title suggests.
The original edition was published on 19 November 2009. The cover and several catalogues show the title with an exclamation mark: «Avant que t'oublies tout !».
Recommended for readers of memoirs and interviews, and for those who follow French culture and journalism.
