The editorial identity of Verticales Round table with Claro, Jeanne Guyon, Yves Pagès, and Pierre Senges

Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Verticales meant looking back at the history and identity of the publishing house. This round table brings together editors (Yves Pagès, Jeanne Guyon) and two authors (Claro, Pierre Senges) to reconstruct the development of a catalogue that, since the 1990s, has juxtaposed fiction with documentary writing, rejecting boundaries and seriousness. Defending their editorial autonomy, the editors recount the original workings of a “nebulous” house for unique authors.
