Jean- Philippe Blondel: Exposed

A new French writer, never read Blondel before, but this, Exposed , this was a very easy read, a very pleasant read.

I liked how the text had a good flow from present to the past and I also liked the I - narrator, his point of view on life, on his marriage, his divorce, his teaching job, the relationship he has / had with his wife (= ex-wife), daughters and more over of course his ex-pupil who now proposes him a something he accepts. So, he starts posig for this now a famous artist who once was on his class, a boy he hardly remember, a boy who even then had a crush on his teacher.

The plot was straightfoward, there were no gimmicks in this book but it was well put toherher, and I liked it, the time I spent with it, wiht Blondel ´s text.
