Difficult to find the right words to comment on the work of Pierre Desproges. Big fan of his style and his exceptional humor, I have not been disappointed by this unique novel. Admittedly, the squeaky cynicism is not as pronounced as in other texts, but the accuracy of words, the superb mastery of language and irony always present are elements that make this truly exhilarating novel. The plot leads the ordinary sordid the player to the most unexpected craziness. The story is inherently unique and interesting. Told by Desproges, it becomes compelling. The book is read in one sitting. Once completed we can not help but come back in small pieces, just to revel text, turnings, style used, and to flush small missed the first reading pearls.
