«Ma fille, doktorr astrophysik» is the novel by Anna Alter, published by Calmann-Lévy in paperback (244 pages, in French).
The narrative follows Christophe, Anna and Mamouchkievitch, the omnipresent mother, on a journey from Stalin's Warsaw to the Paris of the 1960s. The story combines the far-fetched and the tragic, among extravagant characters and nocturnal ghosts, and is woven around the mother's excessive love for her prodigy son. Anna, marked by a singular physique, turns towards the stars until she becomes «doktorr astrophysik», while family memory, Jewish identity and attachment to Poland emerge through fragments of recollection.
The work bears the subtitle «roman» and the records place the publication in Paris in 2006. Library of Congress cataloguing: PQ2661.L735 M3 2006.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in family memory, Jewish identity and the weight of the twentieth-century European past.
