Used Book – Les Bidochon, Volume 5: Intimate Gossip, Binet

They are a disillusioned couple who expect little, if anything, from their life together: - Robert: "Raymonde is like an anvil! Where she's put, there she stays!" - Raymonde: "On Sunday mornings, Robert goes to get bread in his jogging outfit... 200 meters by car to the bakery. Jogging outfit plus gas, that's an expensive baguette!" In eight stories, from "A Year Already" to "Sunday Night Movie," introduced by eight pages never before published in Fluide Glacial, BINET tenderly recounts the mediocrity of his characters, their suppressed desires, their failed existence, while still managing to make us laugh on every page. A masterpiece of sad humor.
