«Quand j'avais 5 ans, je m'ai tué» is the novel by Howard Buten, published by France Loisirs in hardback (184 pages, in French).
Narrated from a child's point of view, the story speaks of childhood as a time of misunderstanding: his gestures clash with adults and their rules. Loneliness, the search for identity and the need to be understood run through a narrative that advocates empathy and respect for difference.
Published in 1984, the work appears in some sources as «Quand j'avais cinq ans, je m'ai tué» and is classified under Literature and Fiction.
For readers of intimate narrative interested in childhood, maladjustment and the child's view of the world.
