Brown Morning (French: Matin Brun) is a French fable, written by Franck Pavloff in 1998, published by editions Cheyne, a publishing house usually specialized in poetry. The title of the fable refers to the "Brown Shirts" nickname given to Nazi SA militia. The author wrote this short story in a "fit of anger" after the revelation of candidates alliances with the National Front in the second round of a set of local elections. Brown Morning is a universal story that takes a stand against the pensée unique and what Pavloff called "small compromissions". This book aims for a universal appeal by leaving out any details on when or where it takes place. The book became an overnight success in 2002 (more than a million copies sold) after the surprise result of the first round of that year's presidential election in which the far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen qualified unexpectedly for the second round. Since then, this short story is regularly studied and discussed in French schools.
