With Souvenirs d’Honfleur, With Souvenirs d'Honfleur, Alain Keler looks back on his youth and the years he spent at the Lycée Albert Sorel in Honfleur between 1961 and 1964, a formative period of his adolescence. Behind the strict confines of the boarding school, he discovered, above all, his first stirrings of independence, close friendships and escapades to Deauville or the cafés of Honfleur. Here, he rediscovers the places, the atmospheres and the traces of that budding freedom: jukeboxes, pinball machines, night buses, harbours, table football and clandestine escapades away from the school. The narrative also takes on a more intimate dimension with the recollection of a devastating bout of meningitis that left a lasting mark on this period. Personal memories, Normandy landscapes and a diary entry blend past and present. Alain Keler crafts a journey through the years in which the desires for emancipation, travel and the life ahead begin to take shape.
