Title : Reasonable Accommodations - Jean-Paul Dubois - Book
Summary :
Paul Stern – a fifty-something from Toulouse – is hesitant. Between a wife (Anna) who is sinking into a deep depression and drifting further away from him every day, and a father (Alexandre) whose scandalous remarriage suddenly reveals his true nature, he is tempted to give it all up. A film studio's offer comes at just the right time: what could be more providential than a year in Hollywood to rewrite the script of a French film in order to make a remake?
Hired by Paramount, Paul discovers an entirely artificial world that brings him back to his own contradictions. Until the moment when, in a studio corridor, he meets Selma Chantz. And his life changes. Because Selma is Anna's perfect double, thirty years younger...
After a detour through comedy ( You're joking, Mr. Tanner. ) and the disturbing strangeness ( Men among themselves ), Jean-Paul Dubois wrote a great novel about the illusion that each of us falls prey to, casting a lucid eye over his era. We find there the romantic breath of A French life , and the charm of its heroes, eternal adolescents torn between their love of life and their acute sense of guilt.
