«Pour vos cadeaux» is Jean Rouaud's novel, published by Editions de Minuit in paperback (186 pages, in French).
The narrative begins with the death of the author's mother and the void it leaves, then reaches back to episodes before the narrator's birth. Jean Rouaud thus composes the portrait of a woman who survived the bombings of Nantes and was widowed very young, with a blend of emotion and distance that turns family memory into literature.
Fourth instalment of the cycle «Le cycle romanesque familial et autobiographique» by Jean Rouaud, which begins with «Les Champs d'honneur».
For readers of contemporary French literature and of autobiographical and memorialistic narrative.
Jean Rouaud is a French author, who was born in Campbon, Loire-Atlantique. In 1990 his novel Fields of Glory won the Prix Goncourt. First believed to be the first book in a trilogy, Fields of Glory turned out to be the first book in a series of five books on the family history of the author.
