After almost two decades of working in publishing, and a few round trips between Paris and New York, Miriam has decided to settle down at Albertine to do what she enjoys most: recommending books she loves. Somehow this also includes taking bizarre pictures for Albertine's social media outlets.

"How do you conjure up a man whose memories and anecdotes - and aren't memories anecdotes? - would have upset him or made him angry?" asks Denis Podalydès in L'Ami de la famille, Souvenirs de Pierre Bourdieu, a formative account that is as moving as it is humble.

This story of two teenage girls who discover the extreme vulnerability of adults has the colors of old Polaroids, both tender and heartbreaking.
