«Il piccolo amico» is the novel by Paul Léautaud, published by Garzanti in paperback (152 pages, in Italian).
Il piccolo amico is an intimate confession in which Léautaud evokes his childhood and the Paris of the late 19th century. The figure of the mother, always absent, structures the narrative and is tirelessly sought through memories; the author approaches her with disillusioned irony, dry humor and a melancholy that does not exclude sharpness.
The book belongs to the Gli elefanti collection. Its original title, Le Petit ami, appeared in 1903.
For readers of classic fiction interested in confessional literature and portraits of childhood.
Paul Léautaud was a French writer and theater critic for Mercure de France, signing his often caustic reviews with the pseudonym Maurice Boissard.
