11:00-11:50, Place de l'Europe & Stand Livre Suisse
What do we inherit from a father? At the very least, a name and a legacy. But what if these two notions, which seem so self-evident, are actually questionable? For Springora, it’s a vertiginous investigation with a Modianesque touch, while for Bärfuss, it’s a way of distancing himself from grief and questioning the very idea of inheritance. In this conversation, both authors attempt to answer this question: What can I know about the man my father was?
