«Une vie française» is the novel by Jean-Paul Dubois, published by Points in paperback (420 pages, in French).
Paul Blick is eight years old when his brother dies on the same day France approves the Fifth Republic; from then on, the novel follows his life over half a century, from the de Gaulle era to Chirac. Between family episodes, first kisses, May '68 and Franco's death, the protagonist wrestles with rebellion, bourgeois comfort and a search for meaning marked by disillusionment.
Awarded the Prix Femina and the Prix du roman Fnac in 2004. In the Points collection it appears as number 1378.
For readers of contemporary fiction and French narrative who want to follow half a century of French history through a personal life.
Jean-Paul Dubois is a French journalist and author. He won the Prix Goncourt in 2019 for Tous les hommes n'habitent pas le monde de la même façon, a novel told from the perspective of a prisoner looking back on life. The jury compared Dubois to John Irving and William Boyd, who wrote books that were both popular and critical successes.
