«À l’ouest» is the novel by Olivier Adam, published by Pocket in paperback (140 pages, in French).
Antoine, almost nineteen, lives adrift: he skips school, wanders the shopping centre in his neighbourhood and finds no direction. His sister Camille tries to support him and takes refuge in prayer. His mother Marie does what she can, until one morning she makes a decision that leads them to a state where nothing seems to matter.
Published in 2007 by Pocket, the novel uses its title to designate an inner state, not a cardinal point.
For readers of contemporary French fiction who appreciate intimate stories about family and maladjustment.
Olivier Adam is a French author and screenwriter. His debut novel Je vais bien, ne t’en fais pas was adapted into the eponymous film. He also writes books for young adults, among them La messe anniversaire. Adam won the 2004 Prix Goncourt de la Nouvelle for Passer l'hiver.
