The reader has a lot of fun. An excellent book. – Sophie Dougnac, L’Est républicain

One often imagines one’s childhood in a fluffy happiness, an ancient ataraxia, a kind of unattainable perfection. As far as I was concerned, my childhood reminded me of a painting by Hopper, Blue Night, in which we see a clown, cigarette in his mouth, counting his tickets after the show.

Chronicles of a childhood punctuated between luminous Sardinia and the grey everyday life of northern France, Our Memories Float in a Sticky Pond is a novel about memory. We follow the journey of Jacques, a child who discovers the world, then in his envelope of man who tries to find a place in it. With in mind, always, the idea of approaching happiness.
We find with pleasure the delicate pen and the humor of the author of Chercher Proust and Aux petits mots les grands remèdes.
