Catherine Colomb, out of purgatory

Despite her discretion, Catherine Colomb (1892-1965) was praised during her lifetime by critics and her peers (Roud, Paulhan, Jaccottet, Anex, Cornuz...). She robbed her bourgeois universe of a literary space in the manner of Proust, delving into the memorial time of childhood, of the disappeared, restored in a daring, often ironic and innovative novelistic cycle.
