About this listen
V13 : c'est le nom de code du procès des attentats terroristes qui, le vendredi 13 novembre 2015, ont causé 130 morts au Stade de France, sur des terrasses de l'est parisien, dans la salle de concert du Bataclan.
14 accusés, 1 800 parties civiles, 350 avocats, un dossier haut de 53 mètres : ce procès hors norme a duré neuf mois, de septembre 2021 à juin 2022. Je l'ai suivi, du premier au dernier jour, pour l'hebdomadaire L'Obs.
Expérience éprouvante, souvent bouleversante, fascinante même quand elle était ennuyeuse.

"À quelques mois d'intervalle, la vie m'a rendu témoin des deux événements qui me font le plus peur au monde : la mort d'un enfant pour ses parents, celle d'une jeune femme pour ses enfants et son mari. Quelqu'un m'a dit alors : tu es écrivain, pourquoi n'écris-tu pas notre histoire ? C'était une commande, je l'ai acceptée. C'est ainsi que je me suis retrouvé à raconter l'amitié entre un homme et une femme, tous deux rescapés d'un cancer, tous deux boiteux et tous deux juges, qui s'occupaient d'affaires de surendettement au tribunal d'instance de Vienne (Isère)."

À un moment de ma vie, j'ai été chrétien. Cela a duré trois ans. C'est passé. Affaire classée, alors ? Il faut qu'elle ne le soit pas tout à fait pour que, vingt ans plus tard, j'aie éprouvé le besoin d'y revenir. Ces chemins du Nouveau Testament que j'ai autrefois parcourus en croyant, je les parcours aujourd'hui - en romancier ? en historien ? Disons en enquêteur.

J’ai voulu y croire, j’ai voulu rêver que le royaume de la littérature m’accueillerait comme n’importe lequel des orphelins qui y trouvent refuge, mais même à travers l’art, on ne peut pas sortir vainqueur de l’abjection. La littérature ne m’a pas sauvée. Je ne suis pas sauvée. Neige Sinno lit elle-même son texte, insufflant une force supplémentaire à son bouleversant récit autobiographique.

Entre Madame Rosa et Momo, c'est un amour maternel qui ne passerait pas les liens du sang, c'est l'amitié entre les peuples juif et arabe, c'est le poids de l'Histoire allégé par l'appétit de vivre. Le roman se passe à Belleville, vingtième arrondissement de Paris, sixième étage sans ascenseur. Momo a dix ans, peut-être quatorze en réalité. Cela fait beaucoup de chiffres pour un môme qui réinvente le dictionnaire et a le sens de la maxime : Je pense que pour vivre, il faut s'y prendre très jeune, parce qu'après on perd toute sa valeur et personne ne vous fera de cadeaux.

On l'appelait le "mage du Kremlin". L'énigmatique Vadim Baranov fut metteur en scène puis producteur d'émissions de télé-réalité avant de devenir l'éminence grise de Poutine, dit le Tsar. Après sa démission du poste de conseiller politique, les légendes sur son compte se multiplient, sans que nul puisse démêler le faux du vrai. Jusqu'à ce que, une nuit, il confie son histoire au narrateur de ce livre... Ce récit nous plonge au cœur du pouvoir russe, où courtisans et oligarques se livrent une guerre de tous les instants.

À la mort de son épouse Birgit, Kaspar découvre un pan de sa vie qu'il avait toujours ignoré : avant de quitter la RDA pour passer à l'Ouest en 1965, Birgit avait abandonné un bébé à la naissance. Intrigué, Kaspar ferme sa librairie à Berlin et part à la recherche de cette belle-fille inconnue. Son enquête le conduit jusqu'à Svenja, qui mène une tout autre vie que lui : restée en Allemagne de l'Est, elle a épousé un néo-nazi et élevé dans cette doctrine une fille nommée Sigrun.

En quelques pages, à la première personne, Annie Ernaux raconte une relation vécue avec un homme de trente ans de moins qu'elle. Une expérience qui la fit redevenir, l'espace de plusieurs mois, la "fille scandaleuse" de sa jeunesse. Un voyage dans le temps qui lui permit de franchir une étape décisive dans son écriture. La lecture sensible de Françoise Gillard de la Comédie-Française met en valeur ce texte clé de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux qui éclaire son rapport au temps et à l'écriture.

"Depuis des années, je tourne autour de cet événement de ma vie. Lire dans un roman le récit d'un avortement me plonge dans un saisissement sans images ni pensées, comme si les mots se changeaient instantanément en sensation violente. De la même façon entendre par hasard "La javanaise", "J'ai la mémoire qui flanche", n'importe quelle chanson qui m'a accompagnée durant cette période, me bouleverse."

Diégane s'engage alors, fasciné, sur la piste du mystérieux T.C. Elimane, où il affronte les grandes tragédies que sont le colonialisme ou la Shoah. Du Sénégal à la France en passant par l'Argentine, quelle vérité l'attend au centre de ce labyrinthe ?

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
