Hats off for this book: the author demonstrates intelligence and culture, it has the right words, full of delicacy, humor and without pompous style.
I appreciate the fact that he certainly contemporary style, but not raw, rather poetic in its way.
What is interesting is that it also says this biography, talks with the player, interfering reflections, the kind that cross your mind.
"Whether psychoanalysis cures neuroses, but there is evidence that the drama does not cure." (P63)
"Her hair was cut and it began to rain hair on his shoulders" (p87)
'Here, someone like Sylvia Plath add a photosensitive sentence like "The morning sun, simple, shining through the green leaves of plants of the small canopy and flower motifs on the couch covered with chintz and were naive roses in the morning light. " I love these downtime that leave the reader time to breathe, drink or pee. Ah, if only I could write well. But I would only say that the first ray of sun was purple and it was really beautiful. "(P104)
Yes, everyone knows Beigbeder, this casual dandy, but without really knowing him.
His life: mother particle, divorced, translator of Barbara Cartland, science-setter and founder of Caca'club (Club Illiterate but Endearing Cons), suggest intelligence of the author and his craziness. (Source of information: wikipedia, so dear to the author himself).
A biography.

"All of a sudden she felt herself lifted in the air, literally and figuratively They kissed, she levitated and he carried Vertigo was unforeseen.. That first kiss could have cold tobacco taste, but as Jerry nose breathing scented Oona hair, he was forever the sweet, and she inspired in her neck a strong smell of soap with cinnamon. When two tongues touch, sometimes nothing happens. But sometimes something happens ...

Suddenly I uttered a cry of astonishment. Just before she jumps into the lake, I saw the back of his wetsuit logo of a famous Californian surf clothing: O'Neill.
We can always explain that it was a coincidence ... I prefer to believe qu'Oona had just sent me a last glance, from the sunken years. Our lives do not matter, they sink to the bottom of the time, yet we have been and nothing will prevent. Although liquids, our joys never evaporate "(P331)
