Raymond Guérin, the eternally unknown. The atypical Bordeaux writer whose talent has not been fully recognized, except by a few aesthetes.
He spent forty-two months in captivity in a stalag in western Germany. Until the end of the year, he continued to keep the diary he had started during the Phoney War. In 1988, under the title Le Temps de la sottise, Le Dilettante published the first of nine notebooks of this living testimony. It runs from October 1939 to June 1940.
