520 Prix du Premier Roman 2020 A story of liberation and a
heartrending portrayal of a woman's sense of self, Ketty
Rouf's extraordinary debut shatters tired prejudices about
sex, women, and society. Josephine teaches philosophy
in a high school in Drancy, a suburb of Paris. Her life is
a balancing act between Xanax, Propranolol and Tupperware
lunches in the staff room. The directives of the National
Education Board are increasingly absurd and intolerable
and she follows them with playfulness at times and
derision at others. When, one evening, Josephine walks
into a strip club on the Champs-Elysée, her life is
completely overturned. There she learns a secret nocturnal
code of conduct; she discovers camaraderie and the joys of
female company; and she thrills at the sensation of men's
desire directed toward her. Josephine, a teacher by day,
begins to lead a secret existence by night that ultimately
allows her to regain control of her life. This delicate
balance is shattered one evening by an unexpected visitor
to the club where she dances.
