Written in 1904, Renée Vivien’s first novel Une femme m’apparut opens with a dialogue between two women lovers. In a Symbolist and decadent language, two visions of love intertwine and confront each other – a poetic reminder that our questions about relationships are timeless.
This booklet, which features an excerpt from Renée Vivien’s original novel, has been created by Papier Charbon with the goal of a forthcoming complete reissue of the book. Illustrations by Léna Borsoi.
Both the booklet and the accompanying poster are set in Ninna Regular (designed by Margot Lévêque) alongside Baskerville (by Linotype) for the body text.
