«Il n'y a pas de Ajar» is the theatrical monologue by Delphine Horvilleur, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (117 pages, in French).
A man named Abraham Ajar claims to be the son of Émile Ajar, the pseudonym under which Romain Gary wrote «La vida ante sí». In this monologue he challenges his visitor: are you a child of your lineage or of the books you read? With references to Gary, the Kabbalah, the Bible and Jewish humour, the work combats identity obsessions and celebrates the power of fiction to reinvent oneself.
The monologue takes place in the «trou juif» mentioned in «La Vie devant soi». In the stage production, the male character is played by a woman. The volume includes a preface by Delphine Horvilleur on Romain Gary and his work.
For readers interested in reflection on identity, Judaism and the figure of Romain Gary through literature of ideas and theatre.
