Elisabeth Barille has only one photo of her grandfather, Georges Theodorovitch Sapounoff, born in Koursk in 1899, and it was taken in front of the family datcha well before the Revolution of 1917. It is with her book Corps de Jeune fille, published by Gallimard in 1986, that Elisabeth B., 20 years old and surrounded by poussieres, makes a fracassant foray into the literary world. She adores the adventures and misadventures of a young brunette with a famous author, with a plume as rich as it is dark. The text is audacious, brutal, and lucid, and it leaves a lot of ink on the table.
