«Encore un instant» is the autobiographical account by Claude Sarraute, published by J'ai lu in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Claude Sarraute, in her nineties, looks back with humour and no beating about the bush at the lights and shadows of old age: everyday pleasures, fears and the small great experiences of a long life. Amid personal memories, she turns to current affairs and the oddities of our time with irony and contagious vitality.
The work originally appeared in 2017 (Flammarion) and the present edition was published on 14 February 2018.
For readers of memoirs and first-person accounts seeking a lucid, ironic and unsentimental look at ageing.
