In this Prix Feminawinning memoir, a writer at the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo recounts surviving the deadly terror attack on their office.
On January 7, 2015, two terrorists claiming allegiance to ISIS attack the Paris office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. The event causes untold pain to the victims and their families, prompts a global solidarity movement, and ignites a fierce debate over press freedoms and the role of satire today. Philippe Lancon, a journalist, author, and a weekly contributor to Charlie Hebdo is gravely wounded in the attackan experience that upends his relationship to the world.
As Lancon attempts to reconstruct his life on the page, he rereads Proust, Thomas Mann, Kafka, and others in search of guidance. It is a year before he can return to writing, a year in which he learns to work through his experiences and their aftermath. Disturbance is not an essay on terrorism nor is it a witness's account of Charlie Hebdo. It is an honest, intimate account of a man seeking to put his life back together after it has been torn apart.
"A powerful and deeply civilized memoir." The New York Times
