Title : Spiritual Itinerary - Gérard Oberlé - book

Summary :

Spiritual and spiritual derive from the same root. As a child, the narrator of Itinéraire spiritueux learned music in church and at the bistro, through hymns and drinking songs. He grew like a lily of the field between holy water and brandy, at a time and in a milieu where the fashion was for good husbands, good fathers, good workers, and good Christians. The daily practice of these virtues required compensation. It was in the bottle that they were most often sought. Always boozy journeys, an overflowing romantic itinerary, with bacchanalia and domestic or exotic hangovers, rolling and pitching, solemn paths and dead ends, beautiful chords and heavy bills, blandishments and fogs, sixty years of cruising where the winds have blown like festive desires, with reefs where sirens sing, ports without anxiety, last-chance cabarets and, always, new sailings. The old word ivrongne is an anagram of vigneron. I wanted to celebrate both in a familiar and burlesque tale where poets and peasants, good girls and naughty boys, canons and dogs, bartenders, all sorts of parishioners... and my father also cross paths. The bottoms of the bottles served as my spyglass and the cocktail glasses as kaleidoscopes. Let's just say my vision of the world is a little cloudy. Lucky! When I see things as they really are, it will be time to close up shop.
