In his new novel, the writer-mountaineer Cédric Sapin-Defour pays a faithful, moving and tender tribute to his Bernese Mountain Dog.
The preface to Cédric Sapin-Defour’s new novel is by Jean-Paul Dubois. ” There is nothing easier than living with a dog » writes in the beginning the Goncourt 2019 prize. He promises us « a magical, rich book “, the one, he says” of a kind of amorous ethologist telling with grace and elegance the moving story, life quite simply, of a man with his dog ».
It couldn’t be said better, and the promise is kept. Because it is indeed a life that is in question here. A life of love, of a simple and obvious love, a love that is rare, between a human and an animal. A text full of tenderness and modesty, elegance and depth, which in turn softens, makes you smile, makes you happy, and also makes you cry. A text on life, then.
Its smell after the rain of Cedric Sapin-Defour was published by Stock editions.
