«Un enfant de la balle» is the novel by John Irving, published by Editions du Seuil in paperback (765 pages, in French).
In Bombay, Dr. Farrokh Daruwalla, an orthopaedic surgeon, wonders why vultures circle over the green of the Duckworth Club. That unease leads him into a web of misunderstandings where Hindi cinema, Jesuits, the circus and double identity intersect, while the novel portrays the contrasts of the city.
The work was originally published in English as A Son of the Circus in 1994; Josée Kamoun is the translator of this French edition, published in the Points collection.
The novel will appeal to readers of John Irving and contemporary literary fiction, especially those seeking stories set in India.
John Winslow Irving is an American and Canadian novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.
