After his last moving book devoted to his wife Jacqueline, the playwright and writer Jean-Claude Grumberg returns with a tale for old children entitled ” From Pitchik to Pitchuk » published by Editions du Seuil, in the collection directed by the historian Maurice Olender « The 21st century library “. A short and amazing book where tender characters mix between humor and sadness.
” Death of a traveling salesman », « Free zone », « The Workshop », « Towards you promised land » and around forty other plays… He is an immense figure of French theatre, rewarded 6 times at the Molière ceremony and by other prestigious awards.
It must be said that Jean-Claude Grumberg enjoys telling and sharing stories, with children and adults alike. On a theater set, as a playwright after having been an actor for a time; on a cinema or television screen as a screenwriter or dialogue writer for François Truffaut, Costa-Gavras, Marcel Bluwal or Robert Enrico.
Today he signs a story for old children », an astonishing work that we guess is autobiographical in which he combines humor and sadness, memory and burlesque, life and mourning, through the sometimes improbable encounters of characters full of tenderness, laughter and tears. .
” From Pitchik to Pitchuk ” of Jean-Claude Grumberg is published by Editions du Seuil.
