Description
The Moustache by Emmanuel Carrère is a short yet profound novel that explores identity, perception, and reality. The story begins when Jean shaves off his moustache, only to find that no one around him notices—or even remembers—it ever existed. This collective denial plunges him into confusion and forces him to question his own identity and the way others perceive him. Carrère skillfully blends surreal situations with psychological insight, challenging readers to examine the boundaries between subjective and objective reality. The moustache becomes a symbol of hidden aspects of identity and the unconscious mind, highlighting how past experiences shape who we are. Despite its brevity, the novel leaves a lasting impact, prompting deep reflection on self and existence.
