“Les transclasses” and “La névrose”

I’m behind on posts so I make two posts (aka two books) in one.
As you know if you read this blog, I’m obsessed with my family’s working-class origins. Here and there I have put several posts on the subject, from Tommaso Fiore who called my dear fellow citizens of Puglia “Formighe”; to my prison neighbor Antonio Gramsci and all the others who have been able to show me the way to know the value of class FIGHT.

There are two books I’ve read this winter break. Or rather the first one before leaving for Italy. It is “Les transclasses” di CHANTAL JAQUET.

The second one came with me to Italy and now he’s back in France because I haven’t finished yet: “la nevrose de classe” https://journals.openedition.org/osp/5366?lang=fr

Books open up memories and readings of life experiences for me.
I am grateful to the two authors.

Both are very well known in France.
Both talk about suffering.
And then I always find my Spinoza in the letter.
And Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux.

Related to these, I read also “La fabrique des transclasses” of Chantal Jaquet et Gérard Bras! (nice but… too descriptive for me).

Here for more:
