The first rays of spring sunshine beckon and Max has invited Kia-Kirsch and Lycil to a very special romantic weekend.
Both are to be seen in a real film clip for the first time.

The premiere will take place on 5.13.2021 at 21:00 CET on Youtube and we invite everyone to watch this wonderful romantic film, which is accompanied by the instrumental piece “Emotion” by Francis Lai.

But that’s not all the interesting news!
Olivier Mathieu and Roland Jaccard are both coming out with a new release.

Olivier’s next book is called “The children of the afternoons (Les enfants des Aprems)” and is dedicated to Roland Jaccard.

Those “children of the afternoons” are Oliver when he was young, little Gabriel who died in December 2019 (see our article “another ship of sunshine”), and a young girl who is probably the real hero of this book…

Here you can read what the author himself says about his latest work.

The Children of the Afternoons (Les Enfants des Aprems)

 Sometimes, in life, almost unimaginable events occur.

This has happened to me quite often during my hectic life, but I could not have known that on April 8, 2021, the most unimaginable of all the unimaginable events of my life would turn out to be.

Struck in the heart, I have just written a small book, a very small book, certainly the book I wrote the fastest (in less than a fortnight), my most essential book. And if my friend the jew writer Roland Jaccard was recently kind enough to write that my book « Ma petite bande de jeunes filles en fleurs » (My little band of young girls in bloom) was « a masterpiece », I don’t know what he will say about my new book, which will be only a few dozen pages long (I still don’t know the exact number). The best of everything I’ve written, I think.

I therefore announce that a new book of me has just left for the printing press, that it is called The Children of the Afternoons (Les Enfants des Aprems: aprem being naturally the afternoon apocope and defining the happiest period of my life, my childhood).
It is a book that will be written in French, of course, but with passages in english). It was inspired by the woman of my life. The Children of the Afternoons (this is the main title, but there will also be a sub-title) will consist of twelve short chapters. A book of suffering and joy, when these two terms lose all meaning, that suffering is joy, and joy suffering.

The themes of the book? The distance in time and space, before the definitive distance from death. Love, entropy and aporia.

It should also be noted that Roland Jaccard (who collaborated with an unpublished text in Olivier Mathieu’s book “Ma petite bande de jeunes filles en fleurs”) has just published a huge book, “Le monde d’avant”, his diary of the 1980s, published by Serge Safran. The book has already been listed on the left-wing newspaper Libération, on the right-wing newspaper Le Point, and on Olivier Mathieu’s blog.

Here is what the publisher tells us about Roland Jaccard and his new book

A l’âge de 26 ans, Roland Jaccard est engagé par le journal Le Monde pour y tenir la rubrique psychanalytique : c’était dans les années soixante.

Tout semblait alors possible. Même qu’un jeune Lausannois puisse occuper un poste aussi convoité. Il se trouve qu’au début des années quatre-vingt il se lie à une jeune fille de dix-sept ans, rencontrée à la bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. Dès lors qu’ils vécurent ensemble, il décida de tenir son journal intime.

La psychanalyse a perdu de son aura et il est déconseillé aujourd’hui aux vieux mâles blancs de jouer les Pygmalions. On n’en découvrira donc qu’avec plus de curiosité “Le Monde d’avant” dans ce journal écrit avec une forme de spontanéité jubilatoire.
