«Celui qui n'est pas là» is a short story collection by Dominique Fabre, published by Serpent à plumes in paperback (170 pages, in French).
In «Celui qui n'est pas là», Dominique Fabre traces a man's life in fifteen vignettes: his childhood in Asnières, adolescence at a boarding school, and the working-class world. Over all of them looms the figure of the absent father, a man of many conquests, of a tumultuous and indifferent life, whose absence marks the protagonist's memory.
The work was published in 1999 in the Fiction française collection.
Dominique Fabre's prose, close to humble characters, makes this book suitable for readers of contemporary French fiction.
Dominique Fabre was a Swiss screenwriter and novelist. His book Un Beau Monstre received the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière in 1968. He is not to be confused with the current French author Dominique Fabre.
