«Vive la Sociale !» is Gérard Mordillat's childhood memoir, published by Points in paperback (160 pages, in French).
The narrator, Maurice Decques, recalls his childhood in the 20th arrondissement of Paris in the 1960s, between Belleville and Ménilmontant. At home, he lives with a grandfather who played in a circus, a communist militant father, and an anarchist mother; the chronicle portrays life in a working-class neighbourhood, its colourful characters, and dreams of social transformation, with humour and affection.
Work subtitled «Récit», originally published in 1981; this Points edition, in the Points documents collection, appeared in 2005.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in childhood portraits with a social backdrop and working-class memory.
