Grégoire Courtois returns with a novel of childhood in the woods
In "L'Enfant grise," the Auxerre-based writer turns to a dreamlike, nature-steeped tale of youth, reviewed this week by Télérama.
Télérama has reviewed "L'Enfant grise," a new novel by Grégoire Courtois, describing it as a poetic account of a childhood spent in close contact with the forest, bordering on the fantastical.
According to the outlet, Courtois writes in an ample, dreamlike style to convey the magic of a youth lived among the woods. The review does not give further detail on the plot, publisher or length of the book.
Courtois, who lives in Auxerre, is known to French readers for earlier fiction; Télérama's piece frames this latest work as a departure into more lyrical, nature-centered territory, though the source material available does not elaborate on his previous titles.
