Wound

“Where is your wound?” asks Jean Genet in the lines Laurent Mauvignier uses as an epigraph to The Wound. By the time we have finished this four-part novel, we realise that for many the wound lies four decades back in “the Events” that people have tried not to talk about ever since: the Algerian War.

-- Unde este rana ta? intreaba Jean Genet in randurile pe care Laurent Mauvignier le foloseste ca epigraf la Rana. Cand am terminat acest roman in patru parti, ne dam seama ca pentru multi rana se afla cu patru decenii in urma in ,,Evenimentele" despre care oamenii au incercat sa nu mai vorbeasca de atunci: razboiul din Algeria.
