Synopsis
Publié en 1970, La Maison de papier est un roman à forte teinte autobiographique sur la vie quotidienne d’un couple. Le mari est peintre, la femme, écrivain et lectrice dans une maison d'édition. Ils ont deux garçons et deux filles. Parentèle, serviteurs, animaux, vont et viennent dans cette maison ouverte à tous les vents de la liberté et de la fantaisie. Enfants à idées saugrenues, ou géniales, femmes de ménage à la logique toute personnelle, amis de la famille très pique-assiette, animaux qui règnent sur la narratrice débordée, ce livre n’est pas un roman, c’est un tourbillon. Débordant d’un humour faussement fataliste, il nous amuse et nous instruit à chaque page. Si « faire une famille, c’est faire une œuvre », c’est le plus souvent un work-in-progress qui se construit suivant les personnalités des uns et des autres, avec indulgence et habileté.
Virtuose chronique d’une famille moderne des années heureuses, La Maison de papier, immense succès lors de sa publication, est entré au rang des « classiques modernes » du XXe siècle.
