«L'éducation d'Alphonse» is the novel by Alphonse Boudard, published by Grasset in paperback (296 pages, in French).
Paris, 1946-1947. Alphonse learns between a second-hand bookstore and Fresnes prison. Without much education but with great vitality, he meets the Professor, an eccentric pedagogue fond of drink and risky ideas, and roams the city with him, peopled with dreamers, poets, mythomaniacs and swindlers. Louis Aragon appears among them.
The novel was originally published in 1987. It is linked to Café du pauvre and Le Banquet des Léopards, two novels by Alphonse Boudard.
For readers of French fiction who enjoy humor, colorful characters and bohemian postwar Paris.
Alphonse Boudard was a French novelist and playwright. He won the 1977 Prix Renaudot for Les Combattants du petit bonheur. Boudard's 1995 novel Dying childhood was awarded and recognised by the French Academy with a Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.
