In his new novel “Child of a bastard”, Sorj Chalandon crosses the great story, the trial of Klaus Barbie, with that of his manipulative father, who was a “collaborator”.
A chilling book but full of modesty.

Sorj Chalandon returns in this literary season with a very personal book.
A novel in which the writer and journalist tells us about his father.
All his life, this mythomaniac booster, capable of overwhelming outbursts of anger, hid from him what he had done, how he behaved during the Second World War.
Of this heavy past, of this feeling of having been mystified and betrayed, the son wrote not a story but a novel, often chilling, but also full of modesty.
By crossing his personal story with the great story, that of the trial of Klaus Barbie that he covered for the newspaper Liberation.
Sorj Chalandon's
“Bastard's Child”
was published by Grasset editions.
