Two terrorists who claim allegiance to ISIS attack the satirical weekly \u003ci\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/i\u003e. The event causes untold pain to the victims and their families, prompts a global solidarity movement, and ignites a fierce debate over press freedoms and the role of satire today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilippe Lan on, a journalist, author, and a weekly contributor to \u003ci\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/i\u003e is gravely wounded in the attack. This intense life experience upends his relationship to the world, to writing, to reading, to love and to friendship. As he attempts to reconstruct his life on the page, Lan on rereads Proust, Thomas Mann, Kafka, and others in search of guidance. It is a year before he can return to writing, a year in which he learns to work through his experiences and their aftermath. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisturbance\u003c\/i\u003e is not an essay on terrorism nor is it a witness's account of \u003ci\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/i\u003e. The attack and what followed are part of Lan on's narrative, which, instead, touches upon the universal. It is an honest, intimate account of a man seeking to put his life back together after it has been torn apart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisturbance\u003c\/i\u003e is a book about survival, resilience, and reconstruction, about transformation, about one man's shifting relationship to time, to writing and journalism, to truth, and to his own body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilippe Lançon\u003c\/b\u003e is a French journalist and writer born in 1963.
