«Mourir d'enfance» is a novel by Alphonse Boudard, published by R. Laffont in paperback (252 pages, in French).
Alphonse Boudard evokes his childhood between the farm in the Loiret and his grandmother's Paris. At the centre is an elegant, almost always absent mother, who appears on the arm of new 'uncles'; between her and her son stretches a distance they never manage to bridge. Acid gaze, verbal play and melancholy over a vanished world.
The work was originally published in Paris in 1995 and bears the subtitle 'roman' on the cover.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in autobiographical memory and a melancholy view of childhood.
Alphonse Boudard was a French novelist and playwright. He won the 1977 Prix Renaudot for Les Combattants du petit bonheur. Boudard's 1995 novel Dying childhood was awarded and recognised by the French Academy with a Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.
