In 'The Origin of Tears', Paul has committed an irreparable act: killing his father, even though he had already died of natural causes. Through a year of mandatory therapy, the circumstances that led Paul to this symbolic parricide are unraveled. The novel is the story that Paul entrusts to his psychiatrist, the story of a wounded man who hates his father for the suffering caused to his family. With a mixture of humor and melancholy, the work is presented as a black comedy or a burlesque drama, exploring themes of revenge and redemption.
Jean-Paul Dubois is a French journalist and author.
