translate English to French: He spoke about those years even when I was a child, but he would not mention his vulnerabilities, his dreams of becoming a writer, or the questions of identity that had plagued him in his hotel room.
Dans notre enfance aussi il parlait de ces années-là, mais sans évoquer sa propre fragilité, ni son désir de devenir poète, ni ses angoisses existentielles dans des chambres d'hôtel.
