The French writer, mathematician, and journalist Hervé Le Tellier (Paris, 1957) was searching for a "birthplace," a place where he could invent roots, in Montjòus, near Dieulofet, in what is now the French region of Auvergne-Roine-Alps, and stumbled upon a name on the wall: André Chaix, a member of the French Maquis against the Nazis. Through the search for the short life of this young Frenchman, the author reflects on the rise of Nazism, but also paints a rather unsettling portrait of our society. The name on the wall (Edicions 62/Seix Barral), translated into Catalan by Jordi Boixadós, the editor and literary critic, winner of the Goncourt Prize 2020 with The anomaly (Editions 62)It speaks of solidarity and resistance, but also of how easily we can become fascists.
