Henri Raczymow is sad.
He thinks he's written his whole life for nothing.
He does not even denigrate himself to be contradicted, like François Nourissier;
no, he humbly analyzes the failure of a writing life.
He can see that no one recognizes him in the street.
The press does not talk about his books, he does not sell a copy and the journalists all prefer to interview Camille Kouchner.
By his own admission, he is neither Chateaubriand nor Proust.
He considers himself to be doomed.

His book revolted me.
How can such a gifted writer suffer so much from lack of recognition?
Proof that the world is walking on its head.
Dear Mr. Raczymow, your feeling of injustice is fully justified.
I have been criticized a lot for being annoyed by the success of Léna Situations.
The Instagrammable fashionista certainly deserved the silence more than my repeated relentlessness.
My answer is: Raczymow's failure.
I want to restore some semblance of hierarchy on this earth.
