The prose of Robert Bober is undoubtedly a striking phenomenon in modern French literature. Meanwhile, this name is still unknown to the Russian reader. The publisher chose the author's latest book. This work most organically combines the best features of French prose with the bitter irony of Jewish wisdom, which permeates the novel (for the truly French writer Robert Bober is a Polish Jew by birth). The novel surprisingly vividly and poetically recreates the atmosphere of the Paris of the 50s, which has long been beloved by Russian readers. We can confidently say that this kind and wise book will give everyone a holiday.
