«Mon premier jour de bonheur» is the novel by Lionel Duroy, published by Julliard in paperback (221 pages, in French).
After being abandoned by the woman he loved, Luc, morally destroyed, tries to understand why she left him with the phrase «no amas la vida». The answer emerges from the portrait of his family: a father fond of ruinous business ventures and pursued by debts, and a mother eternally dissatisfied who feigned madness before her nine children.
The work, subtitled «roman», was originally published in 1996 by Julliard in Paris. It consists of 221 pages.
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.
