"Take care of the dog" is a sort of epistolary novel, a sort of detective story, a kind of social satire, a kind of burlesque farce, full of a kind of makes things fun ... JM Erre with its characters and us of it! It must be said that the characters are all browned than the other two ... more "normal" and are Fluche Corneloup two pseudo-hermit old boys, one collecting the eggs he painted himself, the other seedy writing a soap opera for radio ... And both are convinced that another spy ... Deuce! You add these fanatics rare specimens like the concierge Landoux, Zamora (ah Zamora, Zamora, the only filmmaker in the world who does not create, recovering scenes from other films, any other film: it is to the ladies and gentlemen art!), Bruno troubled jar, Gaspard autism, the mysterious commisaire tanner, the Brichon mother and Hector ... I pass, so on ... The plot takes place today but could well have been transposed at the time of Miss Marple or Poirot Hercul good old version more "psychiatrized" ... The whole gives a novel downright enjoyable, sassy, funny ... the end is surprising, but in line with the rest (?): Crazy! I put a little time to get into the story, taken aback by the somewhat disjointed side, "atypical", but once "we're at it, there is!"
So I highly recommend this little book, which is really worth to have a good time, have stirred meninges and dusted!
