«Paris-Brest» is the novel by Tanguy Viel, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The narrator explains how his grandmother's unexpected fortune changed his life: without that money he would not have left Brest for Paris nor would he have had to return years later. The narrative interweaves a family portrait marked by money, silences, and the weight of origins, with echoes of crime fiction.
First published in 2009.
For readers of contemporary French literary fiction and family stories with a social backdrop.
