«La chambre de ton père» is the short-story collection by French writer Michel Déon, published by Folio in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Teddy recalls his childhood in the Paris, Chatenay and Monaco of the 1920s. The narrative follows the shy, solitary boy in his gradual loss of innocence and transition to maturity, in a bourgeois and unconventional world. Memory and the child's gaze on that interwar period structure these episodes.
The work's subtitle is 'récits'; it originally appeared in 2004 and the present edition is from 2005.
A work suited to readers of French fiction and of stories about childhood and memory set in the interwar period.
