All Happy Families: A Memoir by Hervé Le Tellier

4.0

I love the way Le Tellier writes. While reading The Anomaly, I had the impression that it was a bit ironic, but here his sarcasm reached a completely different level. This book was provocative and witty, self-mocking and thus self-aware. At no point did the author write entirely serious or entirely tongue-in-cheek. You have to decide for yourself what to take in earnest and I really like that. The whole memoir wasn't too long, which is basically standard when it comes to this genre (after all, who doesn't love writing about themselves?). I feel like Le Tellier is aware of that and decided not to repeat himself, which I admire him for.
