About This Book

Le roman suit Marcel Langrevin, fils d’un éditeur, dont les nuits de jeu et la fatigue inquiètent son entourage; des employés multiplient les stratagèmes pour dissimuler ses excès et préserver la réputation de la maison. À travers épisodes de bureau et scènes familiales, le récit explore les tensions entre générations, la pression sociale et l’hypocrisie bourgeoise, mêlant situations comiques et observations caustiques sur les compromis professionnels et les moyens utilisés pour maintenir les apparences malgré le désordre personnel.
