Il faudra nous tuer

In Search Of ColourUnder option Romania"It was at Dayen's house that I felt the first signs of letting go, leaving; at the time I didn't know that there would be a lot more leaving before it actually happened. A horror, a sudden aversion to the scenery, and by that I mean the human scenery, because there was a piano. What was my body - in other words what I had left of my life - doing here?" Who is François Novel? A man who lives from his writing, a free man who has every intention of keeping it that way. A dramatic event is to amplify his sense of exile, his distance from this "human scenery". And what scenery! A false friend, a toxic singer, grotesque or harmful walk-on parts. A whole theatre of cruelty and vanity transcended by the explosive arrival of devastating characters. Because whoever searches for colour in a transparent world will find adventure on every street corner. An inner journey and the tableau of an era, In Search of Colour breaks all boundaries. Jean-Marc Parisis is the author most notably of La mélancolie des fast-foods (1987), Depuis toute la vie (2000), Renvoi d'ascenseur (2003), Avant, pendant, après (2007, winner of the prix Roger Nimier) and Les aimants (2009).
