Il n'y a pas de Ajar - Monologue contre l'identité
2 in stock - Almost gone!
In this monologue, a mysterious man claims to be the son of Émile Ajar, the pseudonym under which Romain Gary wrote La Vie devant soi. This child of an invented father asks the listener: are you the fruit of your lineage, or of the books you've read? By questioning filiation and the weight of inheritance, he revisits the writer's universe, that of the Kabbalah, the Bible, Jewish humor... but also today's political debates, locked in exclusionary tribalism and victim-based competition. What if Gary/Ajar were the best antidotes to today's obsessions with identity and death?
A vibrant tribute to the texts that have built us, to those who have given birth to us through their words. A masterpiece. Mohammed Aïssaoui, Le Figaro littéraire.
Brilliant intelligence and humor. François Lemoine, La Croix.
Delphine Horvilleur reminds us what our lives owe to the multitude of motives that run through them. Jean-Marie Durand, Philosophie magazine.
A luminous novel against the stranglehold of identity. Marion Ruggieri, Elle.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
