Život po francouzsku – Dubois Jean-Paul (2020)

The narrator of the novel is an ordinary Frenchman: Paul Blick grew up in the shadow of his deceased brother, married well and settled down after the tumultuous era of the 1960s, and began working as a journalist. Now he is approaching fifty and, like many, takes calming pills. He lives alone, his wife ruined him, and his children have distanced themselves. The author provides a unique testimony about French society, politics, family, and sexuality. This tragicomic generational statement has become a bestseller in France - the author received the Femina Prize for the work.
