(letter to the cat G.) *
-No, cat G., I will not deal with the Big Issues. They don’t lack other hands, look to your usual
newspaper. Were I to speak of them, it would be in style of Henry V: « An orator is only a
loud-mouth, a motto is only a slogan, politics change, statistics are faked, fine alliances break,
bright flags tarnish, but a human face, good cat, is the sun and the moon… »
* Note 1997
Why so many mysteries? And why deprive of his name,
after all these years, the good cat Gédéon, who lived on
Ile Saint-Louis and ambled over the rooftops in the
company of unlikely bicycle?
