Patronyme
Description:
A name without a past or memory, a phantom name, in a way, it was unusual. But perhaps it still had a story?" A few days after the release of her first book, Vanessa Springora learned of the sudden death of her father. While emptying her apartment, she discovered two photos of her paternal grandfather that plunged her into shock. It was the beginning of an obsessive hunt to understand who this man really was, caught up in the tragedy of the two totalitarianisms of the 20th century. Questioning the novel of her origins and the mythology of the male figures of her childhood, the author leads us into a kaleidoscopic investigation that alternately reflects family legends, intimate narrative and documentary sources, fiction and testimonies, small and large History. Through the adventure of her surname, the legacy of a buried past and the devastating effects of the unspoken are revealed."
