Introduced by a friend, I spent the last two weeks reading books by Papillon. Although all books are written in first person narrative, the writer has never admitted nor denied that these are the true stories. Regardless, it felt like they are based on the real events with certain degrees of fictionalization. Well, that’s what almost all the writers do. They fictionalize things or mix the reality with fiction to have a fancy brew.

‘Traumas of Maxim-Papi’ includes short short-stories of Papi himself and the people he had met throughout his life. Reading these was like seeing one’s life in snippets. ‘Traumas of Maxim-Papi’ is the combination of his previous two books Maxim-Papi and Traumas.
