The beautiful ogress - Joëlle Pétillot
Novel
In this unusual psychology practice, an old lady comes to get help to overcome the absence of a runaway cat, a young boy finds it perfectly natural to come and tell his father's dreams, an amazon with a breast amputated arrives, guided by a taxi driver who has fallen head over heels in love with her face seen in the rearview mirror... Lives that are more or less wounded intertwine, and Louise, the beautiful and buxom secretary, reigns over this ballet of things said and things left unsaid with a formidable weapon against the anxiety of some or the supposed inability to bring happiness to others: gluttony. The smells of caramel and vanilla, orange and chocolate intervene in a most earthy way to calm things down. And the two shrinks, who are supposed to take notes in a serious tone, quickly become aware of this. By working like sculptors on this human dough in a way that is, to say the least, unexpected, they will find themselves in a position to exercise a discipline that is too little known to their peers: Epicurean psychology.
