To laugh
In “Roman rivière”, Philibert Humm played freshwater sailors, in “Roman de gare”, he becomes a “hobo”, in the tradition of these vagabonds who traveled from train to train, from town to town… But, have you ever tried to stowaway on a freight train? Philibert and his friend Simon, yes! And the capture of Villeneuve station is irresistibly comical. Like this story which makes you laugh on its own, which has the humor of English novels and the charm of “Magnifique”, by Philippe de Broca with Jean-Paul Belmondo.

To disobey
It is May 1980, Ilaria is 8 years old, she loves her mother, her big sister, playing the hanging pig and Nadia Comaneci, life a little less since her parents separated. Surprise ! Her father comes to pick her up from school… A long road trip begins in a smoke-filled car, punctuated by stops in telephone booths where the little girl watches her father lose his temper. Torn between her desire to please him and the anxiety that her mother no longer loves her, she evolves in a world where adults whisper as she passes by. A novel of learning about freedom of incredible simplicity and sensitivity. Often, like Ilaria, we have a weight on our chest, but in the end, we smile at the angels of beauty.
