About the Book

Que se passe-t-il réellement dans la librairie d'Esclarmonde ? On y côtoie un humanitaire incertain, en mal d'aventure et en quête de sens. Un amoureux éconduit, un philosophe décalé et des clients improbables. Au milieu de ce petit monde, Esclarmonde, rayonne. Mais qui est elle ? Et eux, qui sont-ils ? Que font-ils ? D'ailleurs, qui est l'auteur ? La rumeur dit que ce sont plusieurs personnes, qui ont voulu croquer avec une tendre ironie les réalités et les travers de notre monde dans ce roman à clef. Vous le saurez en le lisant...et peut-être même à la fin saurez-vous qui est l'auteur! Un livre sur les livres et ceux qui les servent, sur le mystère des passions, sur les élans troubles et les affinités souterraines - insensibles s'abstenir. What is really happening in Esclarmonde bookshop ? You rub shoulders with an ambiguous humanitarian worker, looking for adventure and in search for identity. A spurned lover, a philosopher a bit off reality and improbable clients. In the middle of this small world, Esclarmonde is shining. But who is she? Who are they? what are they doing? By the way, who is the writer ? Rumor has it there are several authors, who wanted to depict with a touch of irony realities and faults of our world in this novel with a key. You will know when you read it...and may-be at the end will you get an idea of who is the writer... A book about books and those who serve them, about mystery of passions, about bizarre fervour and underground affinities - not for the insensitive.
About the Author: Qui est Philippe-André-Vosgard ? Ou plutôt qui veut-il être pour les autres, pour les médias, pour vous lecteurs ? Rien, justement, comme image médiatique. Tout, comme auteur. C'est certainement un excentrique. Imaginez: un écrivain qui ne veut pas apparaître ! A l'heure où chacun cherche à s'introduire sur le filet (plus filet que net, le net !), ou tout un chacun est prêt à marcher sur ses contemporains pour passer dans la petite lucarne, lui veut s'en échapper, passer justement à travers les mailles du filet ...Car tel est son voeu: ne pas apparaître, se soustraire à cette injonction médiatique. Vous me direz, pas très cathodique, tout ça. Bizarre bizarre - vous avez dit bizarre ...son pari, c'est de ne pas laisser de trace en dehors de ses écrits. Rien, ni lien, ni image, ...Quelle folie, quelle prétention...ou quel luxe ! Bien sûr, il connaît Pynchon, Ajar/Gary, et les autres...Mais l'époque est autre ... et pourtant, si ne pas apparaître était la seule forme de contestation politique, de nos jours ? Pas d'image, me direz-vous - en êtes-vous sûrs ? Assez, et suffisamment pour dire à ceux qui en chercheraient: chiche ! Who is Philippe-André-Vosgard ? Or rather, who does he want to be for the Others, for the media, for you as a reader ? Nothing, quite rightly, as an image in the media. Everything, as an author. He is certainly an eccentric. Think about it: a writer who does NOT want to appear! In those times where everybody wants to be famous, or is ready to kill his contemporaries to be seen on TV (small window ?), he precisley wants to escape, to slip through the net. Because his wish, his bet, is exactly not to appear, to lift the mediatic injunction. One would say, not really cathodic. Bizarre bizarre - you said bizarre...his bet is to leave no trace apart from his writings. Nothing, neither link, nor image, nor...How What kind of extravagance, what kind of arrogance...or what kind of luxury ! of course, he knows Pynchon, Ajar/Gary, and the others...But times are different: and if refusing to appear was nowadays the only possible way of contesting politics ? No image, you say - are you really sure? Sufficiently sure to tell those who would look after them: double dare you!
