«Patchwork: Enfants-crimes et désespoirs» is the novel by Jean Vautrin (Librairie Générale Française, paperback, in French).
Set in Paris, the novel brings together street children —David, Lollipop, Tim or Rocky Velo— who cross the city as innocent victims or exterminated angels. Banality, violence and misery are transformed into a tale of cruel and tender imagination, with a vivid language that evokes other works by Vautrin and the Goncourt Prize he won in 1989.
1992 French-language edition, from the Le Livre de Poche collection (No. 7376). The work was originally published in 1983 by Éditions Mazarine.
For readers of French novels interested in an urban narrative about childhood and violence.
Jean Vautrin, real name Jean Herman, was a French writer, filmmaker and film critic.
