La Seconde mort de Lazare

What happened to Lazarus? François Debluë explores this question in La Seconde mort de Lazare. The resurrected man finds it difficult to be reborn into life. As a novelist, chronicler and poet, Debluë explores the unsaid in the biblical texts in order to deal with the guilt of the survivor and the loneliness of human life. His simple narrative is divided into short chapters. It is carried by a clear style in which silence also has its place and where he skilfully reproduces the prehistoric landscapes and an era of slow rhythms.
