«La croyance des voleurs» is the novel by Michel Chaillou, published by Seuil in 1989 in paperback (318 pages, in French).
Samuel, a twelve-year-old boy, lives with his grandparents in a working-class neighbourhood of a port on the banks of the Loire. They consider him slow and a poor student, but no one can catch him when running. He feels guilty for an origin he associates with the gypsies called «Egyptians», and from this comes his «croyance des voleurs», a belief that helps him float in a broken time.
The work is part of the Fiction & Cie collection, from Seuil, as its number 104.
For readers of French literary fiction interested in stories of childhood and identity.
