questions existentielles : Qui suis-je ? Où vais-je ? Quel sens donner à ma vie ? Un jour, n'y tenant plus, elle quitte tout : son boulot, ses parents, ses copains et part en Grèce sur les traces de l'autre Pénélope, celle de l'Antiquité. C'est le début d'une courageuse introspection et d'une reconstruction encore plus obstinée, au rythme de sa marche, sans boussole ni repères. D'Athènes à New York, en passant par Cordoue, Florence et Amsterdam, Pénélope nous entraîne à sa suite. Au fil de ses rencontres et des liens qu'elle tisse avec ses nouveaux amis, elle est initiée à plusieurs courants de la pensée occidentale ayant traversé l'histoire. Elle va tenter de les appliquer à sa propre vie, aujourd'hui, et de trouver en elle les réponses à ses questions. Un roman initiatique qui donne aux lecteurs des clés pour affronter les défis et les écueils de l'existenceMarécages de l'utopie: roman
By Catherine Fatima. 2021

constate Catherine Fatima, à l'aube de ses vingt-cinq ans. Comment réconcilier ses croyances politiques utopistes avec la réalité marécageuse de sa vie romantique et sexuelle ? En relevant le défi de tout dire, le temps de quelques saisons. C'est l'ambition de ce roman en forme de journal. De Toronto à Paris, de Tours aux Açores, d'où ont émigré ses grands-parents, Fatima fait des rencontres qu'elle consigne de façon décomplexée, toujours à l'écoute de ses fantasmes et répulsions. Au fond de son sac, sur les étagères de ses amants et dans les courriels de sa professeure, les mots d'une foule de philosophes l'accompagnent et alimentent sa prose, d'une vivacité réjouissanteSound the shofar!: a story for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
