Jean-Marie Bigard is "Pen pals" with all parts of his anatomy, institutions, animals, humans, everyday objects, senses, feelings, illnesses, perceptions, fruits and vegetables, qualities and defects ... anything that gives cause for complain, criticize, ridicule, tease, reproach, put the record straight, but also recognize, joke, laugh, play down, to honor , pay tribute ...
Here are letters to the shovel, where humor is the thread, writing witty puns galore, big words abundant and diverse level of language, but it is common, very familiar even vulgar and sometimes argued, it is always natural, frank and direct expressed heartily. We see that Bigard took pleasure in writing his letters, his enthusiasm is contagious and when his prose is sometimes said to be more "serious", Post-Scriptum to recall the order, ordering him to bring a touch fun and funny.
Yann Moix's preface and afterword Laurent Baffie are fortunate discoveries. "The Letters of Bigard" are a pleasant recreation, to get out of the routine and stagnation, a moment to think of nothing else and let go ...
Mr. Bigard, a small suggestion: when a second volume for possible answers to your many letters?
