Simple

"Simple" by Marie-Aude Murail is a touching read that addresses the challenges and life of a 22-year-old man with a mental disability. Simple lives with his brother Kléber, who takes care of him while also pursuing his own high school diploma. The story is enriched by the character of Monsieur Pinpin, a stuffed rabbit and Simple's best friend. Together, they navigate the complexities of life, especially when they move into a shared living space. This narrative not only provides insights into the challenges of living with a disability but also encourages reflection on friendship, responsibility, and the pursuit of normalcy. An accompanying document allows readers to create their own "carnet de lecture," deepening and enhancing their engagement with the text.
