In this story, Lilian Derruau links his experiences as a ‘working-class kid’ to the ideas of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Not content with recounting the memories of his early childhood, he depicts the working-class France of the 1970s in a text where wit and self-mockery go hand in hand.
For a long time a singer with a funny side under the name of Wally, we find him here in a completely different register: the sociological tale, but in his own way, one that elicits laughter with a touch of poetry and a whole lot of emotion.
It’s a time of recklessness, followed by the realisation of a form of social predestination from which it’s hard to escape.
Always touching, Wally tells his story. With humour and self-mockery. With tenderness. With modesty. Always with a smile in the corner of his eye.
