Mémoire vive (lit.'Memory Live') is a 2012 collection of interviews by François Bousquet [fr] with the French writer and far-right activist Alain de Benoist. It functions as a memoir and lays out Benoist's experiences and changing political orientations, beginning in the early 1960s in the racialist far-right around Dominique Venner, via the Nouvelle Droite of the 1970s, and into a type of right-wing philosophy that takes significant influence from left-wing authors while maintaining a positive view of inequality.[1][2][3][4]

Stéphane François described the book as an "intellectual biography" that is "very well written, which makes it a pleasant read", and "allows readers to understand Benoist's chaotic life".[1]
