Le gouffre des années
English release: The Gulf of the Years Literal: The gulf of the years
by Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud
I read the English translation from Châteaureynaud’s collection, A Life on
Paper (2010). The story tells of a man who returns to occupied France during World
War II on the morning that his mother was killed by an errant bomb. I enjoyed the
writing, but was unsatisfied with the ending.
You’re Jean-Jacques Manoir, aren’t you? Right? You don’t know me, but I know all
about you.
