For almost fifteen years, France Inter listeners have heard him every Friday in the morning for his post. But François Morel is also a jack-of-all-trades artist. An actor in cinema and television – he appeared in the series Baron Noir on Canal + – he is also very present in the theater where he notably received the Molière for Best Actor in 2019 for his show J’ai des Doutes. Author, he wrote with his son Valentin The Dictionary of Lovers of the Useless, published in 2020 by Plon.
Dear Gustave Flaubert,
You have not had time to complete your Dictionary of Received Ideas and that is quite normal: the subject is infinite.
I allow myself, modestly (it is always good to remain modest when we dare to write to you) to submit to you some new definitions. The clichés, the images from Epinal, the clichés, the prejudices, the ready-made, preconceived ideas are from all eras.
It was better before
Avant.
It was better. Evoking the plague, inequality between women and men, children in mines, colonization, the death penalty, the criminalization of homosexuality with a touch of emotional nostalgia.
Barbara.
Funny, cheerful, funny, silly, facetious, phony, silly. In fact, great comedy. (See Maillan Jacqueline)
Brassens Georges.
Good lyricist but bad musician. Made his melodies with only two notes.
Brel Jacques.
Lively singer but prone to vomiting.
Hunter.
True environmentalist.
Chirac Jacques.
Humanist, crook, radic-soc’, man of the left, fascist, democrat. Anyway, hell of a fork.
And France?
France.
France must remain. Would have everything to lose in fact by becoming America, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Kyrgyzstan.
France Inter.
Macronist state radio infested with Mélenchonists.
Hollande François.
Didn’t invent hot water but rain.
Macron Brigitte.
Actually his older brother. Wear the panties.
Macron Emmanuel.
Husband of the previous one.
Maillan Jacqueline.
Sad, neurasthenic, sinister, morose, dreary, gloomy, nightcap. In fact, tragedian. (See Barbara)
Nain.
Generally well endowed by nature.
Telerama.
Right-thinking magazine. Denigrate him. Attempt to obtain an item.
Gustave, the space given to me in the newspaper, contrary to the subject of this column, is not infinite, I will stop there. If I have other ideas (or if readers of this column have them), I will be sure to pass them on to you.

François Morel’s chronicle of the present times: “A man who loves cheese and poetry cannot be without qualities”
The chronicles of the present time are part of the tradition created by Alexandre Vialatte.
