«Pourquoi j'ai mangé mon père» is the humour novel by Roy Lewis, published by Actes Sud in paperback (164 pages, in French).
Set in prehistory, the novel follows the antics and adventures of Edouard, a brilliant hominid, and his clash with Vania, his ecologist brother, opposed to his advances. With quintessentially British humour, the novel reflects on the origin and evolution of the human being, social organisation and conflicts between generations.
Translated from English by Vercors and Rita Barisse, this French edition appeared in 1993; the work was originally published in 1960 as 'The Evolution Man, or How I Ate My Father'.
It will appeal to those who appreciate satire and historical fiction; the work has a prehistoric setting and anthropological background.
