«Elogio del zurdo: en un mundo manco» is an essay by Jean-Paul Dubois, published by Seix Barral in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Jean-Paul Dubois ironically sides with left-handers in a world designed for right-handers: uncomfortable scissors, doors and handles on the wrong side, clumsy handshakes. With these small annoyances, Dubois champions left-handedness and those who do not want to choose between their two hands.
The book's subtitle is «en un mundo manco»; the original work, titled «Éloge du gaucher», was published in 1986.
A book for left-handed readers and for those who enjoy ironic essays on everyday life.
Jean-Paul Dubois is a French journalist and author. He won the Prix Goncourt in 2019 for Tous les hommes n'habitent pas le monde de la même façon, a novel told from the perspective of a prisoner looking back on life. The jury compared Dubois to John Irving and William Boyd, who wrote books that were both popular and critical successes.
