Title : One day it will be empty - Hugo Lindenberg - book
Summary :
It's summer in Normandy. The narrator is still in that childhood state where everything is intensely experienced, where one doesn't really know who one is, where an invasion of ants is equivalent to the declaration of a war that must be fought with all one's might. One day, he meets another boy on the beach, Baptiste. A friendship is formed between them, all the stronger because it is based on an imbalance: Baptiste has perfect parents, lives in a perfect house. His family is the image of a happiness that the narrator seeks everywhere, but which refuses him. Flanked by a grandmother with a pronounced accent, and a "monstrous" aunt, our narrator dreams, imagines, tells himself stories, tries to overcome the social and familial shame that grips him in the face of his new friend. He enters a murky zone where the feeling of belonging is ambiguous: where, ultimately, does his loyalty lie? Written in a chiseled and very sensitive language, Un jour ce sera vide is a novel made of silences and luminous scenes that we leave with the melancholy of the end of vacation. Hugo Lindenberg explores the feelings, good and bad, that run through every family, and the weight of the traumas of History.
Born in 1978, Hugo Lindenberg is a journalist. One Day It Will Be Empty is his first novel. He lives and works in Paris.
