The expression of secrets in Philippe Grimbert’s self-biographic novel
Abstract
What do we know about our past, our personal history, our origins? Everything? Nothing? It took Philippe Grimbert 191 pages to tell how he had tested his genealogy, probed the actions of his family, played every movement to tell his family secrets and give the readers his novel A Secret. Awarded the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens in 2004, and the Wizo in 2005, A Secret is an autobiography filled with solitude and silence, where the mysteries elucidate by taking paths that are not necessarily those of speech.Downloads
