The Talented Mr. Descoings

A strong survey, away - yet it remains a little hungry. The unusual and eccentric personality of Richard Descoings, Sciences Po director died in strange circumstances, called probably the most flamboyant fed developments on its psychology and temperament doomed to excesses. Raphaelle Bacqué managed a good book, honest and objective, but staying outside of the character, no particular empathy. It portrays a man in a hurry, elated, folded on his clan and his sexual obsession with candor, but without emotion, a journalist rather than a novelist, which is unfortunate. It is probably too well brought up, to detail the turpitude of the disturbing Richie. And yet ... It lacks evidence of his companion Guillaume Peppy and his wife Nadia, who might have delivered some key character, and added some humanity in this portrait knife. To read like a document, a talented character, servant of the state, but a slave to his senses.
