Pierre Lemaitre, writer: “My only advantage is that I am old”. The great French author hopes to continue tracing the history of the 20th century with his sagas.
He calculates that he will write about the present when he turns 100 years old. He has just published in Spain La cholera y el silencio (Salamandra), the second installment of his family saga set in post-war France. He was born in Paris 72 years ago and defends them as the great driving force behind his creation.
