«Le quai de Ouistreham» is Florence Aubenas's journalistic chronicle, published by Noyelles in paperback (269 pages, in French).
The author goes undercover in a French town to look for work like any other unemployed person and document the crisis from within. For nearly six months she shares the conditions of those who take on precarious, temporary jobs; in the port of Ouistreham she works as a cleaner on the cross-Channel ferries. The account shows the harshness of the working days, the instability and the low social visibility of these workers, without abandoning the journalistic eye.
Non-fiction work winner of the Prix Joseph Kessel in 2010. The text, originally published in 2010, is entirely in French.
For readers of narrative journalism and social reportage, especially those who want to approach French working reality through non-fiction.
