« At forty-three years old, fifteen of whom have spent time in writing, the small world of literature seems to him a burlesque train where unsealed crooks settled furiously at the premiere with the complicity of incompetent controllers, while modest geniuses remain on the platform - an endangered species to which Miesel does not consider him to belong. Yet he did not get sour; he ended up not caring anymore, agreed to sit in book fairs and sign only four books in as many hours; when a confraternel failure leaves to his table neighbor of leisure, they speak pleasantly. Miesel, who may seem absent and distant, has a reputation as a man of humor, despite everything. But isn't a man of humour worthy of the name always "despite everything"? »
