Title: I Haven't Always Been an Old Fart - Alexandre Feraga - book
Summary :
One should never end one's days in cotton sheets as soft as cardboard, sucking on pipes like crybabies or gulping down morphine. I always saw myself elsewhere, dying in a field of daisies, crying in a woman's arms, evaporating into the sky after a nice fire." The "old fool" who speaks to you comes across as a tireless curmudgeon. At Les Primevères, the retirement home where he has just ended up, Léon nevertheless reconnects with what he has always been. A former adventurer, bank robber, lovesick lover, this lover of dirty tricks will, out of friendship for two companions in misfortune, play one last trick on those who still believe that an old man is never anything but... old.
