When Léon and Solange entered the church everyone was struck by the difference in height between them. Even though he was wearing heel inserts and held himself ramrod-straight, he still only came just above her shoulder. But no one was bothered by it... However, when their first child is born, Léon gradually shrinks by fifteen inches. This is repeated after their second child and his body apart from one member continues to shrink until he is little more than a Tom Thumb driving round the family apartment in a toy car... Pascal Bruckner s novel is a delightful meditation on feminism, masculinity, marriage, parenting -and size.

Pascal Bruckner is best known as a controversial philosopher. Two of his essays - The Tyranny of Guilt and Perpetual Euphoria: On the duty to be Happy were published to great acclaim in English translation in 2011 and 2012. He has won two major French prizes for his fiction: The Prix Medecis and The Prix Renaudot. His novel Lunes de fiel was made into the film Bitter Moon by Roman Polanski.
