«L'école du Sud» is Dominique Fernandez's novel, published in French by Grasset in 1991.
Porfirio Vasconcellos grows up in the palazzo in Agrigento, between his French mother and three paternal aunts; his father, a diplomat, lives in Paris. That «school of the south» prevents him from maturing; only Constance, a scholarship student from Auvergne who embodies secular France, seems to restore his balance. The South against the North, as fascism rises.
For readers interested in the clash of cultures, identity and interwar Europe.
Dominique Fernandez is a French writer of novels, essays and travel books. Much of his writing explores homosexual experience and creativity. In 1982 he won the Prix Goncourt for his novel about Pier Paolo Pasolini; and in 2007 he was elected a member of the Académie Française.
