Les bouquins du mardi - Special edition \u00abLes coronar\u00e9trospectives de la litt\u00e9rature\u00bb - Am\u00e9lie Wauthier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my \u00abbonus\u00bb review, I wanted to recommend a fresh and fun book, to remind us all that life is good and reading is fun. Otherwise, I don't see much point in telling you about a book I wouldn't highly recommend, and having to read it first. So I went through the various floors of my library and, between Kafka and Heidegger, got my hands on the third volume of the tales of this famous thirty-something, aka Bridget Jones. Mad about him<\/em>, A fresh, off-the-wall diary that talks about love and troubles in an ultra-funny, piquant tone, perfect reading for this period of confinement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After fifty pages, I'm certain of one thing: this diary-style story of a clumsy, endearing teenage girl\u2014when you're a widow with two children who has a toyboy<\/em>, it just doesn't work\u2014not at all! My disappointment is just as great as it was when, as a die-hard Tolkien fan, I discovered the adaptation of the The Hobbit<\/em> by Peter Jackson\u2014that says it all! A little disappointed, but still optimistic (yes, you can be both at the same time, I assure you!), I head back to my bookshelf, determined to find THE book that will make my heart race and my cheekbones twitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not Jo Nesb\u00f8? Hmm, I'm not sure I feel like reading a thriller. The Forgers<\/em> By Antoine Bello? Oh, yeah! It was really great, but 587 pages\u2026 Too long! And Vichy France<\/em>? You call that a \u00abfresh and fun\u00bb read. I might as well go back to Kafka. At this rate, I\u2019ll never finish writing my review! So I\u2019ve decided to proceed with method and discipline\u2014that\u2019s just like me\u2026 Since I\u2019m in the mood to read something funny, I\u2019m selecting books\u2014across all genres\u2014with funny, even zany titles. If after ten pages I haven\u2019t fallen in love with it, I put down the book I\u2019m holding and move on to the next one. Sometimes it takes discipline and order for the magic to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bear is a writer just like any other<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By William Kotzwinkle, the guy who lets you win every Scrabble game hands down! (I know, proper names aren\u2019t allowed, but if we can\u2019t show a little flexibility during this health crisis, where are we headed?) This is the story of a man named Arthur Bramhall. A literature professor at the University of Maine, he\u2019s on a sabbatical in the countryside. Prone to depression, Arthur harbors the hope of having sex with women who are also depressed. He will devote a book to this, based solely on his imagination, as his carnal plans were very quickly thwarted by reality. After his novel was destroyed in a fire that burned down his barn, Bramhall rewrote his story and buried it at the foot of a tree, inside a briefcase, to protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abI\u2019ve written the truth,\u00bb Bramhall declared as he closed his manuscript, patting it gently. He had just lit a tiny flame of joy in the heart of the destructive darkness of his lifelong depression. \u00abTomorrow, you\u2019re going to conquer the world,\u00bb he announced to the manuscript.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is the story of a bear who happened to be passing by. While rummaging around at the base of a tree, he stumbled upon a novel tucked away in a briefcase. He then decided to seize his chance to become someone. Although people found him strange, the bear managed to pass himself off as Dan Flakes, an incredibly talented\u2014and completely fictional\u2014writer whom everyone was clamoring to work with. Living day to day\u2014since he\u2019s a bear\u2014he doesn\u2019t hesitate to roll around on the ground with delight after devouring a hearty meal. He\u2019s a role model for everyone, from his agent to TV hosts, who see him as a free spirit who knows how to enjoy life to the fullest in the simplest way, all while rejecting conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bear displays a childlike innocence despite his deepest desire to become someone. The social norms that govern the human world remain a great mystery to him. But he doesn\u2019t care about any of that and is content to enjoy the present moment, detached from the past and without worrying about the future. And that makes him perfectly happy. His only fear: ending up in a zoo and thus being deprived of his freedom. As for Arthur Bramhall (the real writer, remember!), once again deprived of the fruits of his hard labor, he allows himself to be roped in by Pinette, a good local guy who\u2019s always accompanied by his dog, who drags him from shelter to shelter in search of stories that are more real than life itself for a future book. Whatever their fate, each character faces the same problem: finding their place in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child of the Absurd <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dan Flakes is a bear, but no one notices. After losing his novel in a fire and then in a theft, Aarthur Bramhall takes refuge in a cave to hibernate for a while. Was this book among Visit<\/em> Trial<\/em> by Kafka and the Rhinoceros<\/em> by Ionesco? I laughed\u2014and how I laughed! This time, there was no need to count the pages; I devoured them one after another. The writer\u2019s style is as simple and elegant as his bear, and his perspective on the world is as sharp as that of a college professor. No one has read Dan Flakes\u2019 book, but everyone loves it! The writer\u2019s words don\u2019t make any sense? Never mind\u2014everyone comes up with their own interpretation! What a genius, this Dan! We appreciate him for his simplicity and modesty\u2014he\u2019s a role model\u2026 but humans do the exact opposite, just to really cultivate their OCD, neuroses, and other misfortunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brimming with nature and humanity, this novel is a true breath of fresh air\u2014like the forests of Maine\u2014and invites us to reflect on our habits and our way of life with plenty of humor and philosophy. Whether you\u2019re a bear or a bookworm, gruff or a loner, don\u2019t hesitate any longer! Take advantage of this time at home to treat yourself and devour a great book! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
