In 'Serge', Yasmina Reza introduces us to three Jewish siblings who, despite their differences and tensions, remain united by family ties. The novel explores the dysfunctional family dynamics of the Poppers, non-practicing French Jews of Hungarian origin. Two key scenes frame the narrative: the death of the mother and a visit to the Auschwitz extermination camp. Reza dissects human behaviors with black humor and empathy, offering a caustic chronicle of the absurdities of the 21st century. This tragicomedy delves into family and the ravages of time, showcasing the talent of an essential writer.
