Médiathèque Valais - Sion, Les Arsenaux, Rue de Lausanne 45, 1950 Sion
Jérôme Meizoz and Roland Buti
A moment of conviviality and literature over steaming coffee and crisp croissants. A simple, warm link between authors and audience.
Our guests:
Roland Buti
Born in Lausanne in 1964, Roland Buti is a writer and historian. He completed his studies in literature and history in 1996 with an acclaimed thesis on the extreme right in Switzerland between 1919 and 1945.
After a first collection of short stories, "Les Âmes lestées" (1990), he published "Un Nuage sur l'œil" in 2004, a novel that won the Prix Bibliomédia Suisse and was selected by Lettres frontière. This was followed by "Luce et Célie" (2007) and "Le Milieu de l'horizon" (2013), a masterpiece translated into seven languages and brought to the screen in 2019.
In "Les petites musiques", he explores a dark, little-known page of Swiss history, bringing to life colorful, shattered characters with a pen that is both sensual and mischievous.
Jérôme Meizoz
Born in Valais in 1967, Jérôme Meizoz is a writer and professor at the University of Lausanne.
His first book, "Morts ou vif", was awarded the "Livre de la Fondation Schiller Suisse" in 2000. He subsequently received the Alker-Pawelke Prize from the ASSH (2005) and the Swiss Literature Prize in 2018 for "Faire le garçon". His most notable titles include "Les Désemparés", "Père et passe", "Fantômes" (with Zivo), "Séismes", "Temps mort" (with a preface by Annie Ernaux), "Haut Val des loups", "Absolument modernes!" and "Malencontre", all published by Éditions Zoé.
Her latest novel, "Le hameau de personne" (Nobody's Hamlet), plunges us into a high-altitude huis clos with multiple voices - witnesses, diaries, e-mails, even an artificial intelligence. A subtle choral novel, it questions our hyper-connected solitudes and the dictatorship of the image.
