«J» is Howard Jacobson's dystopian novel published by Calmann-Lévy in paperback, with 502 pages in French.
In a post-apocalyptic world that denies its past, Kevern and Ailinn fall in love without knowing their origins. He remembers his father's gesture of covering his lips at words with «j»; she, raised in an orphanage, seeks belonging. As they are watched and studied by others, the novel asks whether their love is genuine or part of an experiment.
Originally written in English, published in 2014, and shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Goldsmiths Prize in 2014 and the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize in 2016.
For readers of dystopias and literary fiction interested in stories about collective memory and social control.
