About This Book

Un officier de retour d'Asie retrouve des camarades à Paris et, entre conversations de café et balcons, mêle la joie de la vie parisienne aux souvenirs de campagnes lointaines. Les scènes alternent évocations du théâtre, airs d'opérette et confidences sur une inclination pour une chanteuse populaire, tandis que la narration confronte la vivacité des spectacles et des rues au voile mélancolique de la mémoire et de la nostalgie.
