Description
Abandoned at birth and placed in the care of the public welfare system, Albertine would lead several lives and assume several identities over the course of thirty years.
In her brief but eventful life—which we’ll recount during this lecture—there was an adoption, a runaway, a bank robbery, prison, a trial, a Hollywood-style escape, love at first sight, a life on the run, prostitution, theft, and back to prison… Albertine lived her life to the fullest before recounting it in three books: *La Cavale*, *L’Astragale*, and *La Traversière*.
After eight and a half years in prison—almost her entire adult life—she made a sensational entrance onto the literary and media scene… A young woman without a care in the world, with a unique writing style that was, alas, cut short too soon.
