«Mourir d'enfance» is the novel by Alphonse Boudard, published by Pocket in paperback (252 pages, in French).
The author recalls the childhood of a boy named Alphonse, raised by peasants in the Loiret and then in his grandmother's Parisian flat, around a beautiful, unpredictable and almost always absent mother. With irony, much wordplay and melancholy, Boudard recovers that vanished world while the emotion of the narrative grows.
The work was originally published in 1995 and received that year the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie française.
For readers with a sufficient level of French seeking a story of childhood and memory with an autobiographical background.
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.
