Welcome to Litsy!

A boy tells the very touching, beautiful and sad story of his exquisite and unusual childhood experiences lived alongside his parents who lead a modern fairytale-like lifestyle and love story, almost entirely out of the normal social boundaries.
I'm still listening to Nina Simone's Mr. Bojangles...
Le Figaro's review mentions a resemblance of literary style with Froth on the Daydream/Foam of the Daze by Boris Vian, which is next on my TBR list

French novella about a boy who describes the extravagant life he leads with his parents. It reads like a fairytale: the three of them dress up, party, buy a castle, he quits school, they keep an exotic bird in the house, his mother has a different name every day and so on.
I don't do right to the story by describing it so literally because it is a kind of fairytale, but one that doesn't end well. Recommended.
