«La Quarantaine» is the novel by Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, published by Gallimard in paperback (464 pages, in French).
The narrator walks through Paris at night following the shadow of a nameless ancestor, linked to the man of Aden and the poisoner of Harrar. That family memory becomes a journey to the other end of the world, where desire, imagination and the vibration of the past merge with history.
The novel was originally published on October 31, 1995; J.M.G. Le Clézio was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2008.
A novel suitable for readers of contemporary French fiction interested in memory, identity and the intersection of the personal and the historical.
