The new Daniel Pennac Chagrin school , Price Renaudot highly contested 2007, plunges us into the torment experienced by the poor student in his school newspaper. Mercy for the crabs? No! Former French teacher simply sends us his love of teaching that affects all students, good or less good. And it all starts with a bad start: a poor start in education for young Daniel Pennacchioni. Yes, the novel is largely autobiographical. We let the disappointments of telling what was Pennac dunce before becoming a successful author today. With his experience, he explains how bad student, convinced to be a jerk, shut himself in his own insignificance. But do not panic, just very little to extricate a subscriber to zeros. "Teachers who saved me (...) were not trained for that. They were not concerned about the origins of my infirmity school. They wasted no time in seeking the causes and not to lecture me more. (...) They have plunged. (...) They finally got out of there. And many others with me. We were literally rescued. We owe them a living. " Do not be fooled! Daniel Pennac never falls into melodrama nor sanctimonious criticism of a school system in distress. He is not looking guilty, he merely noted the difficulty - whether from family conflicts, social or simply a lack of confidence - Involved in some youth to earn their degree. It deals with the dunces realism and breaks the image of the happy fool, happy fucking mess, the "I-me-largely unpolished" in the first hour. The poor student is usually a miserable teenager, bored, who do not care no, not for pleasure but for fear of not understanding, see to confirm he is who he believed to be. " (...) take the opportunity to solve some problems, starting with the most pressing of all: the fear of not succeeding, the temptation to worry fuck (...). There are lots of people, in this city who are afraid not to do it and believe it ... But fuck it does not give a damn at all, they friment, they depress, they derive their screaming, they bump, they play to fear (...) "The dunce becomes here not to dismiss the student, the polluter of good conscience but to reassure the young, to persuade his intellectual capacities. Reiterate that this novel document contains small fragments of life of Daniel Pennac. The pages are peppered with anecdotes about the work of the latter with his students and the methods used by Professor Pennacchioni often reflect and sometimes smile. To emphasize that not everything is always rosy and the author of the saga Malaussène not hesitate to tell us about some failures during his career.
Love books
It does not cut it and honestly, so much the better! Impossible for Daniel Pennac not refer to literary works. It is a pleasure to read a speech, at the turn of any page, an author favored by the writer, enjoy reading it tries to instill in his students and pleasure recall or awareness readers with names and theatrics. And as he said himself "Look after them (students) with a clear memory of what I was. For the rest, literature! The novel! Teaching and romance! Read, write, teach! "
And the mystery Renaudot in? Scam? Mystery ... We say that there are two kinds of writers who write for the pleasure of writing and these: "These people do not write to write, but for writing" confer Daniel Pennac in Early Merchant prose. Basically, Pennac writing for pleasure, to have fun and I guess to make us happy too. It is certainly not one to tell a story in order to obtain a reward. But then one fine day he receives a prize, Renaudot to boot. Will he spit? Will he refuse? Not of course! And since then, some s'acharnent crying foul. It is true that the Renaudot reward the best novels, not essays! But if school Grief is not a fiction novel, one can not label it as trial. This will be called an autobiographical novel with the author's own reflections and a touch of whimsy. Remember that school Grief is written on the same model as a novel , work "Pennacienne" released in 1992 on the theme of the pleasures of reading a book published by Folio and not in Folio Tests . Long live the controversy! Furthermore, the writer is responsible? Did he accountable? And between us, the Prix Renaudot ... What we do not care! Daniel Pennac was awarded the prize, good for him! While idiots those who buy a book simply because he received praise. And when you see the number of novels and soporific easily pompous moralizing or tests that receive this kind of price (yes, I want to be spiteful!) We say that it's almost an insult to Daniel Pennac whose works are far, far away happily, what can be done in this area.
