«La Petite Chartreuse» is the novel by Pierre Péju, published by Gallimard in paperback (178 pages, in French).
In the novel, Vollard finds strange relief in the walks he shares with Éva, a girl silenced after her accident, between the bookshop and the hospital. For Vollard, Éva is the little Chartreuse, a pale and reclusive figure; from their relationship emerges a delicate exploration of childhood and contemplation.
The first edition of «La Petite Chartreuse» appeared on 9 October 2002, and the novel received the Prix du Livre Inter in 2003.
For readers of contemporary French literature and fiction about books, with the relationship between an adult and a girl at its core.
Pierre Péju is a French philosopher, novelist and essayist. Born in Lyon, he studied at the Sorbonne.
