Existence

Jean-Jacques Carton-Mercier, highly graduated from a prestigious university, obsessed by logic and fanatic about Wittgenstein, has reached his forties. Professionally in a top position, he totally despises and deeply hates the people he lives with. He is egocentric and conformist and behaves like a tyrant towards his wife and children. But one day, something very banal - the purchase of a Bounty in a bakery shop - activates a disastrous mechanic in Carton-Merciers' life. From that moment on, this selfish misanthrope has to face the hostility of others and has to discover his own weakness. He will even realize what it means to doubt... Born in 1965, Éric Reinhardt lives and works as an editor of art books in Paris. He is the author of Demi-sommeil (Actes Sud, 1998) and Moral des ménages (Stock, 2002).
