A pocket country

Description

After having investigated his Russian origins, and after also exploring his French childhood in A French Education, Bezsonoff tells us about his discovery of Catalanness and how he became a Catalan author. At the same time, Roussillon - your pocket country- has transformed into a suburb of Montpellier. Ramon Muntaner's language has evaporated like the fog of a summer morning. In a very interesting and often funny story, Bezsonoff does not shy away from attacking any memory-destroying machine head-on, without ever resorting to the pamphlet, to the crib, a l’insult, to the manual cançoner patrioter. He prefers white-glove irony, corrosive. Nothing will ever be silent, but he will always do it gracefully.
