GIONO, THE VAGABOND HUMOR - by Maurice Petit.
In the library of Marie-Hélène Lafon, as in that of Maurice Petit, founder of Confluences, Jean Giono occupies a very special place. An inexhaustible storyteller, the writer imagined several short stories during the stops, pauses, and margins left by the writing of his novels. One of them is given voice here by Maurice Petit, who reveals its humor that emerges beyond all realism, in a language of jubilant mischief.
