Le Saut oblique de la truite
Jérôme Magnier-Moreno

Corsica! Corsica!! Corsica! the narrator repeats with somewhat naive enthusiasm that mimics General de Gaulle shouting Europe!! Europe!!Europe! in a famous interview. Because it is surprising to leave the town of Corte and find yourself in the valley of your dreams. Admire the fragrant myrtle, rosemary, rockrose and heather, as fluffy and round as if they were regularly pruned by a platoon of Japanese gardeners. The perfect spot for trout-fishing, and for giving thanks for the beauty of the world.

Inspired by Hemingway, Jérôme Magnier-Moreno writes true sentences about subjects he knows well. In telling the story of a young man’s journey through Corsica, full of fly-fishing, little restaurants and fruitless attempts to pick women up, he offers readers an exciting and often hilarious narrative about nature and freedom.

Jérôme Magnier-Moreno took 10 years to write this story about nothing… or next to nothing. It’s all about the style, the sensuality of the bond to the landscape. A coming-of-age debut novel with a unique feel for both nature and freedom.
