Commemorative edition of the twentieth anniversary of the 'Brèves de comptoir' series, published on 6 November 2008.
For readers who enjoy French humour, witty phrases and the popular wisdom hidden in bar conversations.
Jean-Marie Gourio is a French novelist, humorist and screenwriter. He was born in Nérac, Lot-et-Garonne. He won early fame for his column Brèves de comptoir, published in the satirical magazine Hara-Kiri. Compilations of the columns were published annually, and even adapted for the stage.
