Her first published work, \u003cem\u003eCent titres\u003c\/em\u003e (2014), is a cult classic. She has gone on to subvert children’s literature and – more recently – the photo-story genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSinon j’oublie\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) – \u003cem\u003eOtherwise I Forget\u003c\/em\u003e – is a unique work embroidered around a selection of her collection of ‘found’ shopping lists. After a short foreword – exposing her interest in this universal but throw-away form of writing – we find images of 100 shopping lists accompanied by her imagined insight into the lives and minds of their authors. The result is a delightful panoramic view of contemporary France in the guise of an (autobiographical) novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first of her works to be translated for an Anglophone readership. More accessible than other of her works, universal in appeal, and full of humanity, \u003cem\u003eOtherwise I Forget\u003c\/em\u003e is a wonderful and deceptively simple introduction to the work of this highly original writer and artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56403008192886,"sku":"9781802078725","price":58.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41658515_1ffe8727-475f-4ba0-8850-50a0759de344.jpg?v=1781787010","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781802078725-otherwise-i-forget-a-novel-by-clementine-melois-6-world-writing-in-french-new-archipelagoes","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
