«Les enfants, pour quoi faire ?» is Robert Benchley's collection of humorous texts published by Wombat in paperback (130 pages, in French).
In fifteen humorous texts, Robert Benchley attempts to unravel the mystery of children, from the babbling baby to the taciturn teenager. Robert Benchley answers vital questions such as how to carry a baby or which dog to choose for a child (and vice versa), and offers absurd advice for present or future parents, anxious or overwhelmed.
Translation from English by Frédéric Brument. Cover illustration by Lewis Trondheim.
For current or future parents and for readers who enjoy absurd humor.
Robert Charles Benchley was an American humorist, newspaper columnist and actor. From his beginnings at The Harvard Lampoon while attending Harvard University, through his many years writing essays and articles for Vanity Fair and The New Yorker and his acclaimed short films, Benchley's style of humor brought him respect and success during his life, from his peers at the Algonquin Round Table in New York City to contemporaries in the burgeoning film industry.
