Mon frère

Shortly after the death of his brother Bernard, Daniel Pennac undertakes a public reading of a famous Melville novel, Bartleby the Scribe. But Bernard and he shared the same passion for Bartleby's character. By alternating Bartleby's excerpts here as he adapted them for the theater and the anecdotes about Bernard, tender, funny or scathing memories, replicas full of humor and lucidity, Daniel Pennac draws the portrait of this missing brother, true accomplice, irreplaceable companion of his life.
