Later on, in France, I loved eavesdropping on grownups' conversations, and I would hear all sorts of stories about my father's previous life, especially that he had "done" World War II, that he had "done" the Algerian war.
Kasnije, u Francuskoj, voljela sam prisluškivati razgovore odraslih te bih čula razne priče o očevom prijašnjem životu, osobito da je „sudjelovao“ u Drugom svjetskom ratu i da je „sudjelovao“ u Alžirskom ratu za nezavisnost.
