«La Zonzon» is the philosophical novel by Alain Guyard, published by Le Dilettante in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Lazare Vilain, a philosopher by training, ends up teaching his discipline to the inmates of a French prison. He soon befriends them, enters the underworld scene and falls in love with Leïla, the widow of a crime boss. With a slangy, freewheeling style, the novel offers a slapdash philosophy and a humorous critique of academic philosophy.
The book appears in the literature and fiction and philosophy categories and was awarded the Prix Georges Brassens 2011.
For those seeking an irreverent philosophical novel, with humour and street language, and a far from academic portrait of prison life.
