«Un si proche orient» is the memoir by Marie Seurat, published by Le Grand Livre Du Mois in 1991, in hardback and in French.
The author evokes her life in Syria with her husband, the orientalist Michel Seurat, and his death as a victim of militant Islamism; she also remembers their friend Jean-Pierre Thieck. The book becomes an intimate testimony, at times painful and indiscreet, about the identity of a woman between two memories and two cultures, with a certain lightness.
For readers of memoirs and testimonies about the Near East, identity, and loss in contexts of political violence.
