Used book – Journal d'un bouffon, Jean Amadou

With this new anthology of his mood pieces on Europe 1, Jean Amadou delights us with a particularly delicious selection. A ticklish and incisive pen, amused indulgence at times, elegance always: no comical aspect of our national political folklore, no extravagance of our technocrats, no absurdity of current events escapes his biting irony. A jester, Jean Amadou? "Well yes, I claim that title. The jester used to address the king familiarly, interrupt him, tell him some home truths, and make him laugh." Jean Amadou.
