«Effroyables jardins» is the novel by Michel Quint, published by Joëlle Losfeld in paperback (64 pages, in French).
The narrative begins with the figure of a clown who tries to gain access to the trial of Maurice Papon and who later reappears without his costume, carrying a worn suitcase. Through that memory, the author evokes the memory of war and family transmission, dedicating the text to his grandfather, a combatant at Verdun, and to his father, a former resistance fighter.
A brief work from the Arcanes collection, published in 2000. It won the Prix Cinéroman 2001.
For readers of contemporary French fiction and short stories about historical memory and the wounds of war.
Michel Quint is a French writer from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
