Lawrence's novel Bettoni is a real liver punch, doubled suddenly at heart! The theme of beings dual personality (or more) is as old as time, but treatment that is made here is both original, realistic and poignant. The About Bettoni bother me, concerned me and questioned me as much as his style, still very effective, and its peculiar rhythm (beat inimitable, indeed), fascinated me. And that's how, working through political and philosophical issues of great acuteness, hyper-contemporary novel both charm us and we glue the wall. What is lacking most in French literature today is basically to have ignored the rock: Bettoni, he knows all the agreements and all the gimmicks. And there masterfully adds his.
