The Underground Life of Monica Sabolo | Folio

"I had my subject. A group of young people murder a father for ideological reasons. I was going to write something easy and spectacular, nothing was further from me than this story.
I really believed him.
I didn't yet know that the Direct Action years were made up of everything that constitutes me: silence, secrecy and the echo of violence. »

The clandestine life is first and foremost that of Monica Sabolo, raised in a bourgeois environment, in the shadow of a father with occult activities, who disappeared without a word of explanation. It is also that of the members of the far-left terrorist group Action Directe, the subject of a novelistic investigation that will lead the narrator to revisit her own past.
