Guy Goffette is a novelist and essayist. This is his first book to be translated into English.
An intriguingly impressionistic, lyrical little work... It is a dramatic story, and one vividly told * Irish Times * As an introduction to this painter's universe, this book has it all - but this is not a biography, nor an essay about art. This is a love letter...offering a thousand places for daydreaming, or for the genius of Bonnard to take wing * Lire * What must be conveyed is the naturalness, the vivacity with which this author writes very particular, extremely personal texts... This book is a fervent homage, subtle and light * Le Figaro *
