The art of wickedness

Will we know François-Xavier Testu have patiently gathered, to achieve the "Bouquins" format, 3000 "wickedness" come from all backgrounds. Some words are incidentally more stupid than wicked, or more fun than fierce. We also appreciate a biography of each author presents these projections, many of them being thus drawn from a sometimes undeserved oblivion. Last approval of this extensive compilation: do not find a particular trait which we have knowledge, and have the pleasure to know that the author on the subject. To cite just two examples, one will not find the word of Ernest La Jeunesse on Sarah Bernhardt (Sacha Guitry, "The Spirit", Perrin, 1962, p.22), or assassinate the epigram on Robert de Montesquiou to Humières (G. Painter, "Marcel Proust", vol. 2, p. 283). Homosexuality, in fact, is invited in the book with understandable insistence; but the etymology of the word "dyke" proposed p. 215 is confirmed by the - so to speak - Rey.
