Title : The Club of Incorrigible Optimists - Jean-Michel Guenassia - book Summary 2009 Goncourt High School Students' Prize Michel Marini was twelve years old in 1959. It was the era of rock 'n' roll and the Algerian War. He was an amateur photographer, a compulsive reader, and a foosball player at the Balto in Denfert-Rochereau. In the back room of the bistro, he met Igor, Léonid, Sacha, Imré, and the others. These men had crossed the Iron Curtain to save their skins. They had abandoned their loves, their families, betrayed their ideals, and everything they were. They had met in Paris in this back-room chess club that Kessel and Sartre also frequented. And they were bound by a terrible secret that Michel would eventually discover. This meeting changed the young boy's life forever. Because they were all incorrigible optimists. A portrait of a generation, a meticulous reconstruction of an era, a bittersweet chronicle of adolescence: Jean-Michel Guenassia has succeeded in creating a first novel that is astonishing both in terms of the scope of the project and the authenticity that permeates these pages.
