With Blessures (Wounds), the sixth volume in his Manifeste incertain, the author looks back at his own childhood and adolescence. He remembers three painful episodes, which he describes with gravity and humor in turn: the death of his father, a strange car accident in Franco’s Spain, and a nightmare experience on a nudist-colony island. A purely autobiographical book. Brief forays to Saint Nazaire, Rome and Barcelona – pretexts for evoking some existential aspects of today’s world – are interspersed amongst the episodes.

With both gravity and humor, the author looks back over his childhood and adolescence, focusing essentially on three emblematic episodes: the death of his father, a strange car accident in Franco’s Spain, and a nightmare experience on a nudist-colony island.
