The Safe House: A Novel

A Conversation with Christophe Boltanski and A.M. Homes

Join Christophe Boltanski and A.M. Homes as they discuss Boltanski’s award-winning debut novel, The Safe House: A Novel (2015 Femina Prize), just published in the US with the University of Chicago Press.

In Paris’s exclusive Saint-Germain neighborhood is a mansion. In that mansion lives a family. Deep in that mansion. The Bolts are that family, and they have secrets. The Safe House tells their story. That house (and its vehicular appendage) are at the heart of Christophe Boltanski’s ingeniously structured, lightly fictionalized account of his grandparents and their extended family. The novel unfolds room by room—each chapter opening with a floorplan— introducing us to the flamboyant characters who occupy each room.
