«La voyageuse de nuit» is Laure Adler's essay on old age, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in hardback (224 pages, in French).
In this essay, Laure Adler describes old age as an unknown country no one talks about, recounts her journey through it with known and anonymous people, denounces the social invisibility of the elderly, and proposes living age as an experience that can lead to greater intensity of existence, without offering recipes for ageing well.
Published in France in 2020; the text dialogues with Simone de Beauvoir's work on old age.
Recommended for readers of essays and social reflection who want to approach ageing from a personal and vindicative perspective.
Laure Adler is a French journalist, writer, publisher and radio/TV producer.
