Title: To the devil! Men who cry - Michel Leydier - book
Summary :
Men cry too. In the daily grind, Grégoire, the unfortunate narrator, didn't draw the right number. Whether he's a manager or something similar, we don't know, he flees south and ends up in Vauvert, in the Gard department. What is he trying to escape, if not his existence as a loser?
Married for a time to Monique, he failed to maintain their love. The mother of his eighteen-year-old son, Sylvain, she cheated on him with lovers, most of them casual. One of them, Pierre-Léon, even humiliated him more than necessary. Enough to make him want to kill. To the point of obsession.
A novel constructed like a meticulous clockwork, with a time-delay effect, mirror effects, and existential mise-en-abymes. Of course, corpses punctuate this story, but not everyone can be a murderer...
