Poetry is the nicest nickname you can give to life.
After Les yeux de Mona, a literary phenomenon translated into over 39 languages, writer and art historian Thomas Schlesser's new novel Le chat du jardinier (Albin Michel) is an introduction to poetry.
Louis, a hypersensitive gardener, can no longer cope with life's trials and tribulations, especially when his cat is diagnosed with an illness. Then he meets his neighbor Thalie, a whimsical, sunny retired literature teacher. She proposes a pact: Louis will tend the olive trees and oleanders on her estate, while she introduces him to the powers of poetry. Sappho, Hugo, Rimbaud, Pessoa, Neruda... Louis and the reader plunge into the words of the greatest poets.
