Lulu Robert. “Stop eating meat took me out of weight”

In the past, a model, the author of seven pounds, Lulu Robert, Dennis Robert’s daughter, who investigates the well-known pathway, published its new novel. Inhuman (1). In the event that the young author confidently inspires himself, he desperate, killing and not only anyone, men and women who abuse animals. In short, tense, steep sentences, he follows a woman who goes to the end of her madness, but for how long. – For his husband’s love. Interviewer:

Madame Figaro. What made you send a reflection of a literary work and … the protection of animals?
Losu Robert. I started from the autobiographic base. At the beginning of the novel, I left Paris, I got married, adopted a dog, a penny with which I had fuzical connections. However, my existence is focused on the latter, that is my reason, my spine. Without it, I can move dark, even unhealthy thoughts, I lose my bearings. There, the balloon arrived, and I spent three good years against the blank page, while my lover finished a book. I wanted me to be jealous. Then he made me read it, and I felt a way of wrath there. It was a pretty violent thing, but I told myself. Well, let’s go after this feeling. If we remove all filters, morality, warrants, what would it be? The book was born of it, this frustration and this rage. I will add that this is a circle when I became a vegetarian, and when it was completely drowned in animal suffering …

At the end of the book, you also quote the L214 association …
Yes, I almost donated the novel to L214. Their investigation and alert work opened my eyes. During these three years, I spent a lot of time watching videos, being angry, and this anger also fed the novel. I have long prepared an ostrich in connection with animals. I was faulted with everything related to animals, but I did not want to say the connection between steak and cow. Items started to change with my nephew’s birthday. A kind of click, I decided to change things in my life and be clear to myself. Stop eating the meat out of the weight. I’m not fully consistent yet. I wear leather and I’m not Vegan, but I’ve been ahead. I have a podcast on this topic that is very close to my heart, animate and with InhumanI am also trying to beg the animal to beg this black novel, where everything is pushed to extreme.

That’s right, is it a Cathisis book?
Yes, no, because how you write, I left myself. The beginning is really close to what I’ve really felt. And little time, everything has changed. I realized that literature could go to extreme corners so that we could push the cursor more, what I imagined. So far, I was left in something possible. Violent, maybe but possible. There we start with one way of self-love. The play was originally entitled “Where troubled gold” with my name, but the fiction really becomes an image. Hence the title change. I remembered the idea of ​​monstrosity while saying that it was not the case. Finally, Discussion with friends allowed me to succeed Inhuman The heroine gradually leaves people clan for animals, and with its action, it reopens the balance of all the suffering.

There are links to you, between this novel and your previous book, Gray area (Flammarion, 2020), history where you condemn the photographer’s actions that have used his position to abuse when you are eighteen.
I think what I experienced to go out in my novels, otherwise. Bianca, the heroine of my first novel and I hope (Julliard, 2017), I do what I would like to do when the photographer attacks his sexual intercourse. He throws him in a bottle. The man who told the man even when he hoped that rape would feel something … We also have another passage where he kills another person after watching his displaced behavior in the gym. At first, this image was perverted, and that’s why he killed him. But there was nothing to do with the animal, and I thought it was no longer in harmony that I, Lulu, who said it was no longer talking to him. So I rewrapped the passage that this man acted as “big pork” that was sent inappropriate for his actions … as if I was looking at me. Relationships with the body, the attacking body, a recurrent topic in my novels. Here, new is the cause of animals. And of course, writing Gray area It was very different. While I don’t plan anything in my novels, I have discovered this or that, I thought, and I built the story Gray areawhich both was the most paint text I slept on paper and he wrote in one.

You feel you have been registered DYears Vanessa Barprak line ?
I think that Gray area allowed me to bring a stone to a building. I didn’t write it for vengeance, but try to understand how I got there. As I found me, I don’t know how to say no, unable to say no to this man and how I repeated the diagram then. I continue to intervene in colleges and high schools to raise awareness, to educate young people, tell them about their sovereignty relationships, to know not. The term “gray zone” is dangerous because it allows you to split the aggressor when he is guilty, and he knows …
