«Tous les enfants sauf un» is the essay by Philippe Forest, published by Gallimard in paperback (174 pages, in French).
Philippe Forest returns to the death of his daughter, the origin of his first novel, and turns it into the subject of an essay: what do illness and the death of a child mean today. He examines pain, revolt and false consolations: the «work of mourning», religion and social sentimentality.
The cover reproduces the subtitle «essai» and the «nrf» logo of Gallimard; the 2007 edition belongs to the Blanche collection.
For readers interested in the autobiographical essay and in reflections on loss, mourning and memory.
