A fascinating cocktail for an atypical novel. An anti hero with the physique of a leek: Julius Etembar‚ an untrustworthy friend: Jean–François the joker‚ a setting: a Jesuit high school‚ a starting point: Julius is expelled from school. Add an unusual family (a bigoted mother who answers "sex chat lines" to earn her living‚ a sister who is off her rocker‚ and a jealous father‚ who dreams of reconquering his wife)‚ a court hearing‚ a debt‚ a long chain of misunderstandings and in the middle of all of that‚ John Lennon’s glasses.
