Title : Three Days at My Mother's - François Weyergans - book

Summary :

"On the train, he pressed his head against the window and saw, superimposed on it, floating amidst a backdrop of scrub, a pale, tense face, his own, with its unmistakable forehead, high and receding hairline, swollen eyelids, and thin-lipped mouth. He felt like saying to himself: "What can I do for you?" This face so close to his inspired a deep sympathy in him."
Night after night, a deeply disturbed man protects himself by recalling his past—so many travels, so many haunting romantic encounters. His memory makes him dizzy. Will his memories help him get better? He invents a series of doubles who lead romantic lives just as turbulent as his own. He wants to visit his mother. She lives alone in Provence and will soon be ninety. He has a job to finish first. His mother tells him, "Instead of sending faxes to your dozen or so lovers, you should publish a book, otherwise people will think you're dead."
Better than anyone, François Weyergans combines depth and humor, emotion and laughter, in this novel which powerfully affirms the powers of literature.
