«La voyageuse de nuit» is the literary essay by Laure Adler, published by LGF in paperback (240 pages, in French).
The author reflects on old age, a taboo subject in our society. More than fifty years after Simone de Beauvoir's essay, Adler offers a subjective account of what it means to grow old and denounces the way society treats the elderly. It is not a guide to ageing well, but an invitation to think about human finitude.
Originally published on 6 October 2021 in the Le Livre de Poche collection, in paperback edition.
For readers of essays and non-fiction interested in social taboos and ageing; the prose combines reflection, sensitivity and denunciation.
Laure Adler is a French journalist, writer, publisher and radio/TV producer.
