The transmission of violence and trauma from one generation to the next is the foundation for the latest novel by the French writer Jean-Baptiste Del Amo. The Son of Man is the story of a man who returns to his partner and son after a long absence, and takes them to live in a remote place in the mountains, just as his own father had done with him. Soon the mother and child feel oppressed by the control of a man tormented by his own relation with his father before him. In conversation with Felipe Restrepo Pombo.
