- Summary:
- "Standing on the parapet of a bridge, in the heart of Paris, a little boy is afraid; his cousin Claude is holding him by the ankles above the murky waters of the Seine.." This startling opening paragraph will become a backdrop to his subsequent memories as a young man of a childhood marked by sadness. Within Denis, a constant struggle is taking place between the sheer wild joy of being alive and the despondency of existence.
