Souvenirs de Wuhan (Memories of Wuhan) - Autobiographical narrative
“So what was Jean-François going to do in China? Reading this book will tell you, and will lead you to ask yourself that fundamental question: ‘Where did I put my shoehorn?’ In truth, Souvenirs de Wuhan is a masterful treatise on humility and on learning individual freedom. As such, it deserves its place alongside the indispensable books on the Middle Kingdom. One only had to step slightly out of line to glimpse it. It can take a lifetime to achieve that.”
Michel Crépu, Editor-in-chief of La Nouvelle Revue française

Serdâr - Short story
"Torn by the fear of telling a shamefully banal story, I began searching for what was worth telling you. Without realizing it at first, unconsciously, I set aside the events I consider the most intimate, perhaps out of an instinct for emotional self-preservation, or for fear of disappointing you. Then it struck me as foolish to keep them to myself forever, and a natural impulse pushed me in that direction. And it was with the clearest certainty that I knew what I would tell you about, for if I had to sum up a moment that marked my life, I would sum it up in a single name: Serdâr."
Following on from his autobiographical novel Souvenirs de Wuhan, Jean-François Even explores in greater depth one of the chapters of his first account of his travels in China. Through a fictional exchange of letters, he recounts his relationship with a Turkish friend, Serdâr, who saved his life and profoundly influenced his view of the world.
