"In the mid-sixties, between Boulogne and Paris, a child was bored. He is curious, versatile, vibrant, shy. He spent his days reading and his nights scrutinizing the stars, under the ironic gaze of Pierre and Philippe, his brilliant elders. May 1968: Paris rises, the twelve-year-old boy joins the Sorbonne and the Odeon. He abandons his first name to become the elusive Arnulf, discovers artificial paradises and love with both sexes, turns into a revolutionary agent then a bird of night ... In the effervescence of the family, the family disintegrates: Philippe leaves to go around the world, the mother dies of a leukemia, Pierre is dark in madness. The collective euphoria turns into an intimate tragedy, the decade of powder turns to the years of lead. "Our only duty is to do whatever we have been forbidden to do": the cadet asks why he escaped this program, which his elders followed to the drama. Ample, ambitious, this novel revives the almost suicidal vitality of a generation nourished by pop-rock and drugs, free love, claimed excesses and utopias. What have you done with your brothers? is the confession of a child of an age that continues to haunt our imagination." -- publisher
