«Le sas de l'absence» is the novel by Claude Pujade-Renaud, published by Actes Sud in paperback (144 pages, in French).
After the death of her parents, the daughter reconstructs in brief sequences their entry into old age: the deterioration of mind and body, the care and the last tendernesses of a shared farewell. The narrative turns that intimate experience into a universal passage about grief, memory and the filial bond.
The novel was published in 1997 in the Domaine français collection by Actes Sud.
A book for readers of contemporary French fiction and intimate stories about old age, grief and memory.
