A bible for the «happy few» lovers of the namedropping, which will become a manual of obligatory consultation when determining who is who in the demanding world of connoisseurs of the cenacle. Before us we have a juicy catalog of curses that only a select minority should know: from the dirty realists to the Club of the Long Whiskers, from Kathy Acker to the writers of turned neck, going through Annemarie Schwarzenbach and the lovers of gonzo journalism. An exhaustive list full of authors of disastrous but sublime life, inveterate dandies, writers with an androgynous face and easy trigger, members of murderous literary sects or heroic dead whose bizarre disappearance catapulted them to stardom. Who is that guy named André Blanchard, who causes spasmophilia crisis by just hearing his name in what places? Who exactly make up the Long Whiskers Club? A strange group of hair bikers? Is Jean de La Ville de Mirmont the greatest French writer of the twentieth, as stated in various circles? Fabrice Gaignault, as a good snob, presents us with a dictionary of indispensable literature for all those who somehow knew that life exists beyond the figures imposed by the Academy.
