«Vivre fatigue» is the short story collection by Jean-Claude Izzo, published in 1998 by J'ai Lu in paperback (96 pages, in French).
Six stories with a true-life feel and a noir tone show life in Marseille: heartbreak, humiliation, everyday racism and lost illusions. Among characters battered by life, friendship, love and the Mediterranean light appear as fragile refuges against an existence that weighs heavy.
This edition belongs to the Librio Noir collection and includes the complete text.
For readers of crime fiction and short stories interested in French narrative and the atmosphere of Marseille.
Jean-Claude Izzo was a French poet, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist who achieved sudden fame in the mid-1990s with the publication of his three neo-noir crime novels Total Chaos, Chourmo, and Solea, featuring as protagonist ex-cop Fabio Montale, and set in the author's native city of Marseille. All have been translated into English by Howard Curtis.
