«La Haine de la Famille» is a novel by Catherine Cusset, published by Gallimard in paperback (337 pages, in French).
The novel proposes an ironic game to endure family life: assign each relative a color card according to the flaw that most irritates you and use it as a response to their quirks. With this lucid and humorous gaze, Cusset explores the grudges, routines and emotional bonds that sustain a family.
The edition belongs to Gallimard's Folio collection; its series number is 3725. The text is in its original language.
For readers of contemporary French fiction who enjoy irony and observation of family relationships.
Catherine Cusset is a best-selling French novelist and the author of Life of David Hockney: A Novel, The Story of Jane, and 12 other novels published by Éditions Gallimard between 1990 and 2018. Some of her novels are described as autofiction, a French literary movement that is a hybrid of fiction and autobiography. Others are more romantic, but all share some recurring themes: the family, desire, and cultural conflicts between France and America. She stands out from her contemporaries with a direct, incisive, visual form of writing, marked by the influence of Anglo-Saxon novelists.
