EN PASSANT (vite fait) PAR LA MONTAGNE
Book En passant (vite fait) par la montagne by Dominique Fabre Editions Paulsen
Nine of them set off to walk together in the mountains. Five teenagers under "judicial protection", two educators (the two Maxes), a young shrink (the only girl) and the author, a discreet observer of this educational journey.
From Romme to Jerusalem (two places, crossing Haute-Savoie in Savoie), the kids dragged their feet ("what are we doing here?"), rubbed up against the cold, the rain, frittered under the tent, mocked at the shrink who wanted to talk about their dreams ("We're not faggots, ma'am! "), gave the two Maxes the piquette when they played pool, fought to negotiate the price of the cable car... And cried with emotion when they saw the snow.
In short, under the Mont Blanc, which they barely looked at, the kids from the neighbourhoods gave everything of themselves.
And this text, funny or moving, by Dominique Fabre, beautiful portraits of crossed lives, broken destinies, which at the bend of a sentence, discover a few puffs of personal memories.
