WRITER
France
After two books in which she deftly revisits the art of the interior monologue, Noémi Lefebvre has published L’enfance politique: after yet another disaster in her chaotic life, the forty-year-old narrator takes refuge at her mother’s. Between domestic and historical folly, this brilliantly constructed novel allows readers to decipher this oppressive mother-daughter huis clos by reference to various historical evils. This is an eminently political novel, dense with burlesque vitality and a biting style.
