I admit to being a little less like the plot of this book (the fourth I read this writer), but I loved his story about the life of "couchettistes" sleepers of the atmosphere so well described by the talent of Tonino Benacquista. I traveled 2 times a year for 4 years on the "Paris-Lisbon, then this novel reminds me so many memories: a strike that blocked us five hours in the countryside during a return, with a certain abuses "couchettiste" that looks like Richard, but also the respect and solidarity among passengers: 26 hours this allows to meet and at the time (late 1970s) compliance exist yet; I would do more now these trips lonely ... In short, I left "trans" by wearing this book and I had a great time. I also specifies that the suspense is as strong in this book than in the other.
