In 'My Traitor', Sorj Chalandon immerses us in the story of Antoine, a young French luthier captivated by Ireland and its culture. Set in the seventies, the novel explores the civil conflict in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants, Republicans and Unionists, with the IRA and the British army as protagonists. Antoine befriends Jim O'Leary and meets Tyrone Meehan, a charismatic leader of the IRA, which leads him to get involved in the organization and collaborate with it. The novel is a historical fresco of the last thirty years of war and peace in Ireland, recreating scenes of urban guerrilla warfare, torture and hunger strikes, and offering a reflection on terrorism and armed struggle.
Sorj Chalandon is a French writer and journalist.
