Monsieur Jean

Rate this book
Monsieur Jean er en forfatter i slutten av 20-årene, bosatt i Paris. Han har nettopp utgitt sin første roman. Jean bor i en rimelig leilighet og lever et ganske vanlig ansvarsløst ungkarsliv med vennskap og kjærlighet (for det meste ulykkelig), bøker, filmer og plater, utskeielser og bondeanger -- og leveringsfrister fra forleggeren. Men tredveårsdagen nærmer seg, og panikken kommer krypende. Vennene hans gifter seg og får barn, og Jean prøver å holde på bohemlivet sitt. Uten at han helt vil innrømme det, er Jean på jakt etter kjærligheten. Men den er ikke lett å finne.

This is a Norwegian collection featuring the first three books in the series: "Monsieur Jean, l'Amour, la Concierge," "Les Nuits les plus blanches," and "Les Femmes et les enfants d'abord." Unfortunately, no further books were published in Norwegian, which is a bit of a shame because this is a charming series in the classic «ligne claire» style. The artwork is the series' main strength; the stories are okay, but not much more than that. The main character is a bit too nice and bland to be truly interesting—like a Tintin without the amusing side characters. Each chapter might work well as a standalone slice-of-life vignette in an anthology, but as a long, cohesive book, it feels a little thin. That said, the drawings are lovely.

This was lucky find. It's a really sweet little book, and what appears to be a pretty decent translation.
