Synopsis
Nous avions peur. De tout, de rien, des autres, de nous-mêmes. De la petite comme de la grande histoire. Des honnêtes gens qui, selon les circonstances, peuvent se muer en criminels. De la réversibilité des hommes et de la vie. Du pire, car il est toujours sûr. Cette appréhension, ma famille me l'a transmise très tôt, presque à la naissance. »
Que se passe-t-il quand on tête au biberon à la fois le génie et les névroses d'une famille pas comme les autres, les Boltanski ? Que se passe-t-il quand un grand-père qui se pensait bien français, mais voilà la guerre qui arrive, doit se cacher des siens, chez lui, en plein Paris, dans un « entre-deux », comme un clandestin ? Quel est l'héritage de la peur, mais aussi de l'excentricité, du talent et de la liberté bohème ? Comment transmet-on le secret familial, le noyau d'ombre
qui aurait pu tout engloutir ?
La Cache est le roman-vrai des Boltanski, une plongée dans les arcanes de la création, une éducation insolite « Rue-de-Grenelle », de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à aujourd'hui. Et la révélation d'un auteur.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Good. Rights sold to Germany (Hanser)What's the trade secret of one very different family? In short: weird and wonderful. Who wouldn't want to know? This is the family of the visual artist Christian Boltanski, one of the most famous artists in the world, of the sociologist Luc Boltanski, and of the author himself who carries in him the traces of his heritage: an obsession with privacy and a preference for confinement. First and foremost, this is the story of one man, his grandfather, a Jewish doctor who hid in his home in the heart of Paris during World War 2. In this in-between space carved out of the apartment's walls, you could neither stand up nor lie down. It went on for two years. He wouldn't have survived without the iron will and leadership of his wife, Mother-Grand, a novelist who had had polio as a child. The Bolthole is the story of a family with a hard and eccentric sort of cheerfulness (no point going to school because the teachers are torturers with degrees), and a reinvented sense of freedom (the children build towns that encroach on the whole apartment, and dream up a republic crippled by endless coups).As you venture into successive rooms of the Rue-de-Grenelle, you meet one character after another and the mystery of the Bolts is unveiled. Christophe Boltanski is a special correspondent for L'Observateur. The Bolthole is his first novel.A magnificent Perec-like book. Nouvel ObsThe incarnate portrait of the Boltanski family, both peculiar and fascinating. Livres HebdoSubtle and precise. Liberation. Seller Inventory # 00107025544
