The Incorrigible Optimists Club
by Jean-Michel Guenassia
translated by Euan Cameron
Paris, 1959. As dusk settles over the Left Bank, 12-year-old Michel Marin — amateur photographer and compulsive reader — is drawn to the hum of the local bistro. From his usual position at the football table, he has a vantage point on a grown-up world — of rock ‘n’ roll and of the Algerian War. But as the sun sinks and their plastic footballers spin, Michel’s concentration is not on the game, but on the huddle of men gathered in the shadows of a back room.
