Fathers and sons part ways across a distance that binds them. If the son is a writer, the father’s world turns into a word. A Man With No Title, a 2022 work of nonfiction by Xavier Le Clerc, out now from Saqi Books in an English translation by William Rodarmor, offers a narrative portrait of the author’s father, who immigrated from Algeria to France, worked in the steel mills, and raised a family; it’s also an account of the author’s growth into maturity and development as an artist.
