«La sieste assassinée» is a collection of short stories by Philippe Delerm, published by Gallimard in paperback (112 pages, in French).
It brings together brief tales in which Delerm turns minimal moments —the pause of a nap, gestures on the metro, an orange peel— into matter for contemplation. With a simple, sensory style, the author invites readers to notice the small pleasures of daily life and to find in them little meditations on happiness.
Originally published in 2001 in Gallimard's L'Arpenteur collection.
For readers who enjoy short stories and contemporary French literature of everyday observation.
Philippe Delerm is a French writer whose collection of essays La Première gorgée de bière et autres plaisirs minuscules sold more than one million copies in France.
