«Le contrepet, témoin de son temps» is Joël Martin's satirical chronicle, published by Editions First in hardback (300 pages, in French).
It brings together some 3,000 contrepèteries on political, sporting, artistic, scientific and religious current affairs, published in Le Canard Enchaîné since 2001. Each event is treated as an exercise in style: a satirical reminder followed by its contrepétulant version.
Joël Martin is also the author of «La bible du contrepet». The volume includes a brief treatise on the art of the contrepet and the solutions to the games.
For readers with a command of French and fans of satirical humour, wordplay and topical satire.
