Viss par mani

"Here, Gregoire Bouiller chronicles the whole crazy story of his life, from his wartime conception in a menage a trois in Algeria to his gritty Parisian boyhood at the mercy of his promiscuous working-class parents. Introducing us to bloody schoolyard encounters, an adolescent fixation on a neighborhood prostitute, his brother's secret life, and his somewhat perverse relationship with his own mother, Bouiller's memoir - marked by his wry, playful prose and trademark pithy vignettes - ultimately chronicles his four great loves, one of whom brings him to the brink of death in Mexico and nearly destroys him." Shot through with indelible images, bad puns, and Bouiller's gift for drawing meaning from the seemingly innocuous coincidences of daily life, Report on Myself turns on a literary revelation that helps Bouiller decode the patterns laid out by his life, while teaching us a thing or two about love and literature along the way.
