«Le Café de l'Excelsior» is a short story by Philippe Claudel, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (83 pages, in French).
The narrator recalls his grandfather's village café: a nocturnal establishment where customers ask for another round while the owner, absorbed in the memory of his barely known wife, serves them again with slow gestures; a yellowed photograph and a braid under a glass dome sum up that absence.
This book was originally published in 2002; the present French edition appeared in 2007. Philippe Claudel is a member of the Académie Goncourt.
For readers of contemporary French fiction and stories about memory and rural life.
Philippe Claudel is a French writer and film director.
