Come, and Follow Me
Thierry Bizot
Éditions du Seuil
“Anonymous Catholic, indeed, it wasn’t a novel, it was a testimony. At the time, I was 45 years old, I met Jesus, it just happened to me, it was a love story, indeed, it was quite something… I bore witness, that’s it… Now, I really wanted to write a novel, and besides, to tell you the truth, initially, in my novel, the protagonist wasn’t a priest.” No, I wanted to start the novel with a guy who dies right away—that was the initial idea—and who then witnesses, well, he can see and hear everything for a few days. So he witnesses, it's a bit of a fantasy some of us have, to attend our own funeral, what people will say about me, who will come, who will cry, who won't. It's a way of asking yourself: where is the sincerity of the people who love me...? » Thierry Bizot and Mathilde Mahieux for the La Procure bookstore
