Romain Gary - le roman du double

Summary In 1974, Romain Gary invented a writer, Emile Ajar who, the following year, with "La Vie devant soi", won the Prix Goncourt. A prize that can only be received once and that Gary had already obtained with "Les Racines du ciel". Why did he keep it a secret? The answer to this question can be found in the past, in Romain Gary's childhood in Vilnius, where he was born and grew up, between a mother too demanding and a father too absent. In the manner of a novel, Philippe Kohly creates a portrait of this complex personality. He has notably met some of Gary's close friends, as well as Bernard Pivot.
