Used book – Alexandre's White Gloves, Roger Hanin

Alexandre is on a train station platform, holding a white glove. Through serious or comical, cruel or absurd adventures, he will search for a second white glove to make a pair. Whether he meets a stranger, a firefighter, or a retired general, he asks them: "Do you happen to have a white glove?" On this very strange plot, Roger Hanin has built a novel full of digressions and wordplay. We get lost in it, then find our way again, as in an initiatory quest where Alexandre, soon joined by his friend Arsène, traverses this world that, more than ever, seems full of sound, fury... and laughter. A novel about friendship and, in a way, a sequel to {Voyage d'Arsène}."
