Used book – *The First Thing You See*, Grégoire Delacourt

On September 15, 2010, Arthur Dreyfuss, wearing his favorite boxers, is watching an episode of The Sopranos when there's a knock at his door. He opens it. Scarlett Johansson. He is twenty years old, a mechanic. She is twenty-six, and something is broken.

A dazzling third novel. Grégoire Delacourt is one of the most brilliant contemporary French authors. Femme actuelle.

This novel is a work full of grace and emotion, carried by the verses of Jean Follain that return like a refrain to punctuate Delacourt's bittersweet song. It is also a book without a false note, full of sensitive touches. A poet's wit, hidden in a deceptively simple novel. Karine Papillaud, Le Point.
