«Bloompott» is the satirical novel by Sacha Guitry, published by J'ai Lu in 1998 as a paperback (125 pages, in French).
The protagonist, James-William Bloompott, is born to a white couple but has black skin and a personality as kind as it is unpredictable. Halfway between naivety and cunning, he roams the Paris of the era through cafés, salons and clandestine affairs, getting entangled in disputes and vendettas that turn his life into a comedy full of irony and social critique.
It belongs to the Librio collection, with the mention «Texte intégral» on the cover. The work appeared as a serial in the newspaper Gil Blas in 1906 and was completed in 1991 with recovered autograph chapters.
