Chance readings me again guided to a tribute of a girl with a missing parent. Gwenaelle Aubry traces the memory of his father, François-Xavier Aubry, eminent jurist and teacher, a primer. So twenty-six facets of his life, remembered by reading and transmission of memories to romanticize his father wrote throughout his life. The author remains vague about his father's illness, which she calls "madness". In fact, his father was suffering from manic depression which led to his downfall. It is understood that her father became "crazy" by the discord between its nature and état.Il refused the bourgeois side of his family, the seriousness of his legal profession. He chose to go to the other side of the marginal side, sinking into alcohol and malnutrition. He remained frozen at the age of five years and it consisted of an intimate multitude ("the sheep of his soul") face "to his always escaped me." The author, evoking memories "no change in memory". It evokes the different "masks" (Latin persona) from his father. The author's literary style is very poetic with long sentences. This is a smart and admirable writing.
