«Naissances» is the novel by Pierre Péju published in the Folio collection by Gallimard, in paperback (127 pages, in French).
The work reflects on coming into the world as an everyday miracle we do not know how to talk about. It narrates three births: one terrible in a prison camp for women, another tragic, and a final happy one. It also addresses the father's gaze, his fascination and bewilderment before childbirth and before a son he must recognize as his own.
The work was originally published in 1998 and this French edition is from 2000. ISBN-13: 9782070414161.
For readers of contemporary French literature interested in a brief reflection on birth, fatherhood, and the male gaze.
Pierre Péju is a French philosopher, novelist and essayist. Born in Lyon, he studied at the Sorbonne. He has published a number of works in different literary genres, the best-known of which are two prize-winning novels Le rire de l’ogre and La petite Chartreuse. Both titles are studied in French schools and lycees, and both have been translated into English, the former by Euan Cameron and the latter by Ina Rilke.
