OCTOBER SELECTION: Les Bimanes by Severine Cecile Abega - A man worthy of the species must wear a jacket, a tie, trousers with a sharp fold, a dazzling shoe of waxing. His French must be impeccable, his office air conditioned, his wallet well stocked. The rest is only imitation. As soon as he stops serving paper and ink to use tools, he is no longer a man. It's a bimane. Through these seven stories, one feels the author's warm sympathy for the people of the bush, for the workers of the city. His caustic humor is willingly exercised against officials, the haves, the profiteers of all kinds.
