Description
In the aftermath of the November 2015 Paris attacks—known in France as “V13” for Friday the 13th—Emmanuel Carrère offers a humane, forensic chronicle of the landmark trial that followed. Over the course of ten months, he traces the proceedings from day one to the end, moving through the courtroom’s charged atmosphere as lawyers, survivors, and families struggle to shape meaning from terror, loss, and testimony. With a writer’s eye for moral complexity and a reporter’s attention to detail, Carrère examines how collective narratives are built—what is remembered, what is contested, and what justice can and cannot repair. The book is a meditation on empathy under pressure, the ethics of storytelling, and the fragile line between understanding and judgment.
