«Caméra subjective» is Anne Sinclair's political memoir, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (453 pages, in French).
Born as a campaign diary of the 2002 French presidential election, the book transforms after the surprise of 21 April. Sinclair portrays with irony the protagonists of political life, from Chirac and Jospin to secondary figures, and reflects on how her journalist's gaze failed to see the France that voted for Jean-Marie Le Pen. The result is a first-person testimony about the bewilderment of the Socialist Party and the limits of a rational conception of politics.
The narrative begins in May 2001 and closes on 21 June 2002, with an epilogue marked by 21 April.
Recommended for readers interested in French politics, campaign journalism and the inner workings of a historic election day.
