«L’homme qui tremble» is Lionel Duroy’s narrative self-portrait, published by Mialet Barrault in paperback (384 pages, in French).
Having built much of his fictional work from his own life, Lionel Duroy now reverses the gaze and becomes the object of his writing: a self-portrait in which he tries to answer the question of who he is, examining his role in an existence marked by parents, siblings, loves and heartbreaks. An inquiry as cruel as it is luminous.
The work was originally published on January 6, 2021 and appears in this edition with the subtitle «Un autoportrait».
For readers of contemporary French literature seeking memoirs and self-portraits written from an intimate perspective.
Lionel Duroy de Suduiraut is a French writer and journalist born in Bizerte (Tunisia) into an impoverished family of aristocratic origin who long shared extreme right-wing ideas. His youth in this environment left a profound mark on him and was the breeding ground for many of his books.. Lionel Duroy was first a delivery man, a courier, a worker, then a journalist at Libération and at L'événement du jeudi. Since the publication of his first novel in 1990, he has devoted himself entirely to writing novels with essentially autobiographical content. He is happy to talk about his mother, the family trauma linked to his father's war wounds and the legal expulsion of his family from their home in 1955 - following a lack of solidarity from the rest of the family.
