Their children after them {Fragments}

Prix Goncourt 2018, their children after them signed by the Vosges author Nicolas Mathieu is a learning novel that testifies and recreates with as much reality as possible an era forever bygone.

Nicolas Mathieu deciphers the signs and takes a fair view of the world and the people around him: “I write for my father. I write for who I was every time I was humiliated. I write for the slaves of whom I am and that we find in the RER, factories, open spaces, those whose time is devoured by a mechanism without tail or head that produces stupidity and devours the earth under our feet . I write for all those who could say to themselves while contemplating their life: is that all? ".
