About This Book
Imaginez une idée, une belle idée, une somptueuse idée : l'idée du grand départ, de la rupture définitive, du bond en avant qui vous arrachera au médiocre quotidien pour vous propulser dans un ailleurs délicieux. Imaginez cette idée vagabondant à Paris un matin de novembre à la recherche de la tête bien faite et bien pleine capable de l'accueillir, de la chérir, de la féconder et de la réaliser dans toutes ses glorieuses dimensions. Jean-Marie Gourio a suivi la malheureuse dans sa quête effrénée, son douloureux périple. De la ménagère au journaliste, de l'enfant au clochard, du chien au bossu, des piliers de bistrot au romancier, il ne nous laisse rien ignorer des pitoyables combats que les pauvres idées doivent mener pour trouver leur accomplissement dans les circonvolutions encombrées et boueuses de nos contemporains. Collaborateur du regretté Hara-Kiri, Jean-Marie Gourio a de l'humour, de la verve, une imagination féconde et ce franc désespoir dont savent se nourrir les véritables humoristes. Pour Jean-Marie Gourio, l'affaire est entendue : c'est bien parce que les idées ne changent pas les hommes que les hommes changent si souvent d'idées.
Imagine an idea, a beautiful idea, a sumptuous idea: the idea of the big departure, of the final break, of the leap forward that will tear you away from the mediocre daily life to propel you into a delicious elsewhere. Imagine this idea wandering around Paris one November morning in search of a well-made and full head capable of welcoming it, cherishing it, fertilizing it and realizing it in all its glorious dimensions. Jean-Marie Gourio followed the unfortunate woman in her frantic quest, her painful journey. From the housewife to the journalist, from the child to the tramp, from the dog to the hunchback, from the pillars of the bistro to the novelist, he leaves nothing to us unaware of the pitiful fights that poor ideas must wage to find their fulfillment in the congested and muddy convolutions. of our contemporaries. Collaborator of the late Hara-Kiri, Jean-Marie Gourio has humor, verve, a fertile imagination and that frank despair that true comedians know how to feed. For Jean-Marie Gourio, the case has been heard: it is because ideas do not change men that men so often change their ideas.
