The essay delves into the intricate onomastic code of Daniel Picouly’s novel, adeptly navigating the realms of fiction and reality to explore episodes and situations rooted in the author’s childhood against the historical and culturally popular backdrop of the late 1950s. The recounted events and characters, marked by onimic determinations that are at times authentic and realistic, and at other times fictitious and imaginative, undergo skillful distortion through the estranging perspective of a child narrator. Imagination, evident even in the creation of names, not only warps the everyday reality of the young protagonist’s life but also serves a more serious purpose by proving instrumental in reshaping the tragic perception of specific historical events, thereby contributing to mitigating their dramatic impact.

Abstract
The essay delves into the intricate onomastic code of Daniel Picouly’s novel, adeptly navigating the realms of fiction and reality to explore episodes and situations rooted in the author’s childhood against the historical and culturally popular backdrop of the late 1950s. The recounted events and characters, marked by onimic determinations that are at times authentic and realistic, and at other times fictitious and imaginative, undergo skillful distortion through the estranging perspective of a child narrator. Imagination, evident even in the creation of names, not only warps the everyday reality of the young protagonist’s life but also serves a more serious purpose by proving instrumental in reshaping the tragic perception of specific historical events, thereby contributing to mitigating their dramatic impact.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
