“If I had told my father that I had won the Prix Castel<\/b>, he would surely have frowned and said, \u2018Castel, like the nightclub? But that’s good, you love to dance!\u2019 I have tried to present this brilliant and dark, magnificent and terrible father to you in this book, in my own way, with all his ambiguities, but also with love. And I thank you for embracing this father, who was unlike any other! I began writing when he died three years ago. I can think of no better way to celebrate him than to be here in this temple of celebration, where so many beautiful minds have passed through. Let’s drink, dance, and laugh! Long live literature, long live life. I love you all!\u201c said Vanessa Schneider with emotion and humor on the dance floor podium, after thanking the jury, Castel, her editors, her friends, and her children.<\/p>\n
