CHRONICLE - How long has it been since you read a book so brilliant that it makes you want to read it right away?


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;

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.
