As everyone knows, the Quai d'Orsay comes from the combined talents of a ministerial adviser and awesome Christophe Blain (Dungeon crack of dawn, the pirate Isaac, Gus ...) and depicts the daily life of Dominique firm Galouzeau de Villepin, Minister of Foreign Affairs (2002-2005). The album is a delight, all the previous reviewers have rightly pointed out. The line of Blain is especially suitable for furia Villepin and the choice to bring this diplomatic episode by a non from the Seraglio candid (our advisor is an academic, not a foreign affairs advisor) allows the uninitiated to discover the curious world so misunderstood ministerial offices. To know, I regret that the characters (often detestable) that form the quartet Chief of Staff / Advisor Communication / Media Advisor / Parliamentary Counsel be ignored or it is never question of finances (permanent about all Ministries): here it is a question of great political but it may be for the next episode. However, the rivalry between young advisers and central administration directors bleached in harness or the essential role (insane, even) of the Chief of Staff are beautifully suggested. Obviously this is the main character who gives his talent to work. Is he crazy or is it great? The album remains deliciously ambiguous on this point. But Villepin gives verve in any case the opportunity of wonderful set pieces (NB: in the same spirit, the literary critic of the New Didier Jacob observer had once made a more memorable post on his blog: go read it). It is hoped a quick exit from the 2nd episode.
