Bazaar

Dominique Chevallier works in an advertising agency. One evening, while attending a ballet, he is overwhelmed by the performance of a dancer; his absolute grace, the perfection of his gesture. His life suddenly seems meaningless. So, it's decided, he's going. Leaving with the only rule of driving straight ahead until your gas tank is empty. And it doesn't matter where it lands. He is sure something is waiting for him. WELCOME TO THE BAZAAR He takes to the road and, in the morning, it runs out of fuel. A burning desert stretches before his eyes. But in the distance, he sees a large concrete pillar on which a glow, a tremor, a few letters, hesitate to be written in the evening. A motel is planted there. Her name ? The Bazaar. This is where he puts his bags. Little by little, it becomes part of the daily life of the place and its residents. He reunites with Stella, his former lover, Theo, a strange shepherd, Millie, an explosive tattoo artist... Le Bazaar is a Russian doll in which lives fit together. And, even more, all the lives that could have been his. In which slumber buried desires, lost loves, missed opportunities. EVOCATIVE POWER His images are powerful, hypnotic. His writing, mature and controlled. In this first novel, Julien Cabocel manages to dissect desire, love; life itself. He erects a world of paper that unfolds over the pages. Bazaar is an “existential Baghdad Café”, reminiscent of the universe of Arizona Dream by Emir Kusturica. And which reveals the first steps of a promising author.
