Reviews
"A beautiful text with the weight of a myth and the sadness of a dirge." -- Le Monde "[De Toledo] explores the familial labyrinth, pulling us in with enchanting, captivating, harrowing prose." -- La Croix, " Theseus, His New Life is family history on a societal scale. We are not just characters on the bounded stage where our visible life plays out. Our part has been written by others, our masks have been painted by those who accumulate and confiscate. But the film is full of jump cuts, continuity errors, some of the dialogue is missing, and throughout this fine book Camille de Toledo examines the seams of his family history, which are also those of modern capitalism and its supposed human face. He does this firmly but gently, determined to free himself, through sensitivity, thought, and language, from the doubtful prose of profit." --Éric Vuillard, Goncourt Prize-winning author of The Order of the Day "I have been reading and admiring the work of Camille de Toledo for over a decade. He is unique for his fidelity to the history of Europe and the history of Jewishness--and all the problems of maintaining that double fidelity. His writing is playful, somber, lyrical, and exact. Theseus, His New Life continues this examination of history and identity, but this time with a painfully personal inflection. A family is a history, this is the book's deep wisdom: but as well as being contaminated by the past it shows how we might disown our inheritance too." --Adam Thirlwell, international bestselling author of Politics "Camille de Toledo is one of the most interesting and original young authors writing in French today. In his latest book--his most personal and his most historical--he casts himself as a modern Theseus, trapped in a labyrinth that is at once the story of a family blighted by its own legends, and a reckoning with a body crippled by ailments that medical science proves incapable of identifying. Toledo provides a moving account of a journey through the maze of his family's past." --Ann Jefferson, author of Nathalie Sarraute: A Life Between "A beautiful text with the weight of a myth and the sadness of a dirge." -- Le Monde "[De Toledo] explores the familial labyrinth, pulling us in with enchanting, captivating, harrowing prose." -- La Croix

Synopsis
In 2012, Theseus heads east in search of a new life, fleeing the painful memories of his past: the suicide of his older brother, the death of his mother, shortly followed by the death of his father. He takes three boxes of archives, leaving everything in disarray, and boards the last night train with his children. He thinks he's heading toward the light, toward a reinvention, but the past quickly catches up to him. With a stunning mix of poetry and prose, Camille de Toledo beautifully captures the conflicting urges to look back at or away from our complex histories, made all the more poignant through the scattered contents of Theseus's archives - black-and-white photos, fragments of handwritten notes.
