Autobiography for Quais du Polar
« Accross the fog, I’m leaving for Lyon. The Lindy Hop’s session of last week was heavy. My bag is full of hobbies like crime novels, illustrations, paintings and my camera. Plugged in to Baroque music, Jazz Of Brel, Ferrat and Barbara. I fall down… my hobbies are dispersed and above me there are ravens watching me.
– Hitchcock ! Phew, I’m well arrived. »
