Whether conjuring a teenage abortion in the midst of a privileged Parisian upbringing, the tenderness of a long friendship, or unexpected romances, Schneck\u2019s prose exudes an unwavering honesty, elegance, and intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written in a style that evokes Annie Ernaux\u2019s precise and intimate work on social milieu and sexuality and Deborah Levy\u2019s profound exploration of what it means to be a woman with desires and creative ambition in this world, <em>Swimming in Paris<\/em> is a powerful meditation on a lifelong journey to reclaim the female body, accepting it for all its frailties and learning to celebrate its strength.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Swimming in Paris<\/em> is published in the US by Penguin Press (release date: May 14, 2024), and translated into English by award-winning translators Natasha Lehrer and Lauren Elkin, whose exquisite work will introduce a celebrated literary voice to a rapidly growing international readership.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Colombe Schneck<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombe Schneck\u202fis a documentary filmmaker, journalist, and the author of twelve fiction and nonfiction books.
