(William James) Clarke, William James The Story of André Cornélis Laura Natal Rodrigues "The Story of André Cornélis" by Paul Bourget is a literary novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on André Cornélis, who embarks on a personal journey of reflection and confession following the traumatic events surrounding his father's mysterious murder. Struggling with his past and grappling with feelings of loss and resentment, the protagonist seeks to understand the tragedy that has defined his life. The opening of the novel introduces André Cornélis as he recounts his childhood memories of confession, evoking a sense of lost innocence. He vividly describes the oppressive atmosphere in the chapel of his school, where he wrested with shame and fear while preparing to confess his sins. This recollection is jarring as it leads into the dark truth of his father's death, which serves as the catalyst for André's deep-seated anguish. The narrative transitions through André's desperate need for answers regarding his father's demise, revealing the complex feelings he harbors towards his mother and the man who replaces his father. Writing becomes a means for him to confront the memories of his past, illustrating a powerful interplay between trauma, memory, and the search for understanding in a world that feels chaotic and indifferent.
