My father fell backward, his miserable sweater on his face, his belly gaunt, wrinkled, grayish like that of a dead fish... and I saw, while the family honor was spilling onto the ground, I saw what I must not see at all, what a worthy, respectable son, what a true Bedouin must never see - this softened, repulsive, degrading thing, this forbidden territory, tu, sacrilegious: my father's penis... The end of the line! After that, there is nothing, an infinite void, an interminable fall, nothingness..."

Title : Little Joys - Bernard Clavel - Book Summary : My parents died when I was barely out of my teens. Along with them, a certain kind of happiness died that I was never able to rediscover. And if I decide today to leaf through these memories, it is in the selfish hope, probably a little vain - of breathing in their faded perfume while telling myself about these little joys of nothing at all which I did not know, at the time, would leave an indelible mark on me. For years, I wanted to forget them. As if I were afraid that their modesty would follow me around. However, I discovered a long time ago that what I took for poverty is an immense wealth. It is this infinitely precious good that I feel today the need to rediscover in order to share it. EAN: 9782226109149 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
