A day at work with Colette Tuesday, April 25, 1933

Inspired by the collection « A particular day in the life of… » (J.-C. Lattès), this article endeavours to reconstruct Colette’s working day, April 25th 1933. However ordinary and modest it might appear, this particular day was in fact a great date in the history of French literature, resulting in a masterpiece, La Chatte, a short novel, which the novelist, despite a struggle, ultimately succeeded in writing a key episode for and the conclusion itself.
