Title : How to earn an honest living - Jean Rouaud - book
Summary :
"A poetic life? Let's say a life whose guiding thread is poetry. We embark with a heritage (pious values, a dead father, a rainy childhood), with a desire to write, a dream of love, and then, with our meager baggage on our backs, we cross a territory marked by events, here the shock wave of May 68. Which forces us to answer the question: what did the era do to me? It made me think that at twenty, for example, it was not conceivable to think seriously about working - which went well with the poetic idea - and even less honestly when, in the marginal circles who left the city to settle in communities in the countryside, we lived mainly on schemes and plunder. It made me think that, in this just refusal of the reign of money and consumerist mirages, there remained only small jobs to survive. And what should have been a carefree, free and joyful life transformed, over the years, from an investigation into a gentian aperitif to the door-to-door sale of a medical encyclopedia, into a feeling of waste." Jean Rouaud.
