Vincent Roca from A to Z
To bookDescription
"Vincent Roca from A to Z", as its name suggests, is a path that goes... from A to Z.<p> But a path like those taken to play truant... so to break free from alphabetical order, a person from the public, chosen as it should be by chance, will play the role of Chance, with its H to decide and its d to play.<br><br> And it is this person who will decide the order of the letters and therefore, the order of the sequences.<br> A random alphabet, in short.</p><p> An excursion into the French language, where our hero, tossed about by words, trips over cedillas, catches himself with apostrophes, hooks parentheses which he carefully closes after digression, a path in sentences through the countryside, with crossings of meaning, roundabouts of question marks and joyfully destabilized verges...</p><p> "Vincent Roca is like a great-nephew, a grandson, an heir to the most exhilarating form of surrealism. He's a wordsmith, a linguistic acrobat, who constantly proves to us that words don't always mean what they seem. There you have it. Or the opposite... Well, figure it out for yourselves, you'll see, it's absolutely fascinating... hilarious!" Jean-Michel Ribes</p>
