«La Chambre» is the novel by Françoise Chandernagor, published by Gallimard in 2002 in paperback (304 pages, in French).
Narrated in the first person, the novel describes a room as an island of twenty-four steps: doors, window and chimney sealed, a large mirror and rickety furniture. The narrator wonders who ordered the entrances closed, why the confined child did not scream, and what came first: faith, fear, stupidity or chance?
Winner of the Prix Pierre Lafue in 2003, it is published in Gallimard's Blanche collection.
For readers of literary fiction and historical novels, interested in French literature and the French Revolution.
Françoise Chandernagor is a French writer. The daughter of André Chandernagor, she is a former student of the École nationale d'administration, and she became a member of the Council of State in 1969.
