While not knowing the author, I bought this book listening RTL morning, pfff what book! First a superb writing, as I like! It takes an enormous talent to mix very skillfully the stigma of the 2nd World War to those of the war in Algeria! And the end surprises us on page 523, the last book! Collaboration during the war in 43, a destroyed family, mobsters, rotten cops ... but what a beautiful handwriting! Sometimes the language of gangsters, sometimes this flamboyant writing, lyric ... A style that is unusual; I loved it, and I want more!
