Like her namesake, Andr\u00e9 Breton\u2019s famous character Nadja, Nadja is slightly weird, a bit \u2018off\u2019 as they say on the campus of the Vermont University where she teaches creative writing during the summer semester. She feels alien to herself and to the world, as if disconnected from her own body, from her career as a writer, from her family. She left all that in France.<\/p>\n
As the scorching weeks rent by storms go by, she feels the weight of those pivotal moments on the verge of turning forty, the moments when you\u2019re taking stock for the first time. New England feels like the scenery for a film and the memory of a teenage passion comes back to her, activated by an unexpected love encounter.<\/p>\n
And so Nadja embarks on a dancing trip down memory lane, torn between past and present, between three men who marked her life as a woman, three moments of truths, three continents.
\nWhat remains of that first love? The love she remembers living as she trod barefoot on that red and ochre soil under the pouring rain.<\/p>\n
