Romain Philippon photographed the cover of young author Raozy Pellerin's new novel, L'admission, published by Editions Project'îles. The novel tells the story of the “aggrégation” oral of Raïssa Virassamy, a young woman from Reunion who, having left her native island to seek a place for herself in metropolitan France, realizes that she has to take the oral exam against a professor who was once her lover.
Raozy Pellerin is originally from the Indian Ocean (her parents are from Madagascar and Comoros), now living in Lyon. She is the author of the short story Nous ne sommes pas des gens légers (Lettres de Lémurie, 2021) and the novel Bibiche (Plon, 2022; Seuil Points 2025).
