Very normal
Very normal
Squeezed into the Paris metro, stuck between a screaming child and a
grandmother who smells of urine, Jérôme Dubois performs a resistance exercise
mental to escape the pressure of the crowd bleached by the pale light
neon lights. Four boxes line up in his brain; the grandmother is
quickly buried and the child abandoned on a motorway service station. This
Human survival exercise is practiced in secret by a large number of people
of strangers exhausted by the positive injunctions of the time. But one must be
a skilled stylist to transform such mental dross into guillotines
ready to officiate for the well-being of humanity. The candor of childhood, the
miracles of technology, emancipation through work and the transience of
existence, so many clichés which are here conscientiously decapitated
greater satisfaction of the reader. Because, let's say it, it is with a little less
good feelings and a little more misanthropy than the world will be saved. Well
Normal is the third book by Jérôme Dubois. In this work, he makes the
choice of color, and composes each story with two different shades.
After Jimjilbang and Your Eyes Have Seen, this collection presents a new facet of the
work of Jérôme Dubois and bears witness to his unfailing inventiveness.
