Title : A Good Son - Pascal Bruckner - book

• Summary

This is the story of a child with fragile health. Born after the war into a family of German origin and culture, he is sent to a village in Austria to treat his lungs. Under the snow, he prays every night to the Lord to bring about the death of his father. The latter, an anti-Semite and racist, is a perverted husband who beats his wife. His only son will do everything to become his counter-model. He will be a student of Jankélévitch and Barthes, the spiritual twin of Alain Finkielkraut, and then a renowned writer. Until his dying day, however, he will accompany this stranger who gave him life. For beyond the contempt and rage, this story is the confession of a son's undeniable love for his father, to whom he paradoxically owes all his work.
