«Un roman français» is the autobiographical novel by Frédéric Beigbeder, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (248 pages, in French).
The author reconstructs his childhood and family history: the elder of two brothers did everything not to resemble his parents, and the younger, not to resemble him. Melancholy, the parents' marital failure, and a country that lost two wars while pretending to have won them intertwine in this personal memoir.
The work won the Prix Renaudot in 2009; this edition includes an unpublished preface by Michel Houellebecq.
For those interested in contemporary French literature and autobiographical narratives that intertwine family memory and the history of France.
