Have you ever run into Santa, lost in your chimney, on Christmas Eve? Or fallen asleep in your cosy bed only to wake up, starred and numbered, somewhere between Pitchik and Pitchouk? No? Well, count yourself lucky, because this tale is for you. Grumberg uses the gap (between generations, places, day and nighttime, the seasons) to unsettle and surprise readers. On a disturbing planet, Grumberg chooses literature, bringing us a farcical tale for children of all ages. Reading between the lines, we find the confessions of a man who, though now and author, will always be the son of concentration camp survivors.
