Monsieur Lin's Child

A thin, unusual, elegantly refined novel. Monsieur Lin is a forced immigrant. He doesn’t speak French, and European traditions are alien to him. He is alone and defenseless. During a civil war in his faraway country, he lost his entire family—only a granddaughter remained, to whom the old man devotes his whole soul. The old man doesn’t let her go for a minute—if he lets her out of his hands, it seems, his life will end.

The book is dedicated to “all the Mr. Lins and their children”—to all of us for whom love of loved ones is that straw that holds on and doesn’t let you disappear.Performer’s note:
