Title: Hold Firm Your Crown - Yannick Haenel - book
Summary :
A man has written a huge screenplay about the life of Herman Melville: The Great Melville, which no producer wants. One day, he is given the phone number of the great American filmmaker Michael Cimino, the legendary director of The Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate. A meeting takes place in New York: Cimino reads the manuscript. A series of incredible adventures ensue between the Musée de la Chasse in Paris, Ellis Island off the coast of New York, and a lake in Italy. We meet Isabelle Huppert, the goddess Diana, a Dalmatian named Sabbat, a demonic neighbor, and two shady mustachioed men; there is also a pretty doctoral student, a devious concierge, and a very aggressive butler who looks like Emmanuel Macron. What truth glitters between cinema and literature? The comedy of our life hides a sacred story: this novel sets out to find it.
