Forty years after the events, the narrator recalls his expulsion from school, along with two classmates, for sending an antisemitic letter to his English teacher. The protagonist, son of a Jewish mother and a Catholic father, becomes a specialist in Jewish culture. The novel interweaves the political conflicts of the 1970s with family troubles in an inquiry into identity and antisemitism.
Published in 2019, the cover reproduces coloured pencils with handwritten inscriptions such as «Vieux juif puni par le Reich».
For readers of contemporary French literature interested in questions of Jewish identity, antisemitism and childhood memory.
