Tonino Benacquista is a magician: first by the choice of his subjects, originals, then by his way unlike any other treat; in this book that is mockery. Judge for yourself: 4 writers (3 men, 1 woman) are joined by a television channel to create urgency in a series of 80 episodes that will spend 4 to 5 H for the only reason to fill the quota required of French creations. And the only requirement is: "Let us anything, absolutely anything, provided it is as cheap as possible." Then they will let go ... and to everyone's surprise it is a triumph. The author beautifully scratched the world of television but also the stupidity of viewers who will even sometimes madness. Exaggerated? Unfortunately not! To have proof just read "letters to the editor" any TV magazine. But there was also the lives of these four characters. I rarely "input" in a book at this point: I shared their nights working and waiting, I was with them, I loved them, wishing them the best. As for the end ... breathtaking !!! Derision 100% I said from the beginning. So thank you to Tonino Benacquista for all the good times he made me pass.
