«La Succession» is the novel by Jean-Paul Dubois, published by Points in paperback (240 pages, in French).
Paul Katrakilis, grandson of a Stalin-era doctor who fled the USSR, leads a life of apparent happiness in Miami, marked by jai alai, yet feels out of place. His lineage, strewn with suicides, seems doomed to vanish. When his father dies, Paul returns to France and comes across notebooks that change his view of the family inheritance.
Originally published in 2016, this French edition came out in 2017 as volume 4658 of the Points collection.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction, especially those interested in current French narrative.
Jean-Paul Dubois is a French journalist and author. He won the Prix Goncourt in 2019 for Tous les hommes n'habitent pas le monde de la même façon, a novel told from the perspective of a prisoner looking back on life. The jury compared Dubois to John Irving and William Boyd, who wrote books that were both popular and critical successes.
