REQUIEM POUR UNE APACHE
by GILLES MARCHAND
Description
NOVEL
This novel is an ode to friendship, solidarity, idealism and realism, a poetic and political text, that says a lot about our time and our collective destiny. A social novel whose madly poetic writing is reminiscent of the great Boris Vian.
Jolene is not the most beautiful, not the finest either. And not necessarily the nicest. But when she arrives at this hotel, she is welcomed. Hotel ? Rather a pension that opens its doors to the scraps of society: a couple of former jailers, a former wrestler, a sales representative who thinks that encyclopedias will save the world and a singer. Jolene has experienced disappointments all her Life and she no longer wants to be stepped on. Surrounded by a team of "broken arms", Jolene is going to fight against everybody and everything.
