My Truth: An Interview with Colette Author: [France] Colette / [France] André Parino Publisher: CITIC Press

“I won’t lie about my career as a writer”

【Content Introduction】

Colette, writer, journalist, theatre actress, first female judge of the Goncourt Prize, "great goddess" (Beauvoir), "the freest woman in the world", accepted an interview with French National Radio at home at the age of 77. Facing the reporter's pressing step by step, she always kept her own rhythm and talked about the birth of Claudine, the departure of her mother, the loyalty of the mother cat, the boundary between creation and reality in her own unique language...

The interview spans Colette's entire creative career, presenting a Colette who, like her works - "whose brilliance is not bound by any literary critical interpretation" - is not bound by any interpretation or misunderstanding.
