Les "Faisans" by Jacques Dyssord
"Les 'Faisans'" by Jacques Dyssord is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Parisian life and revolves around the experiences of a variety of characters engaged in gambling, socializing, and navigating the complexities of personal relationships. Central figures include "Nom-d’un-petit-bonhomme", a gambler whose fortunes fluctuate dramatically, and the "Grand-Père", an older man entangled in the lives of those around him, often reflecting on
his own past and present struggles. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces "Nom-d’un-petit-bonhomme" as he engages in a night of gambling at a casino. He experiences a rare winning streak, leaving the establishment with a large sum of money, only to later encounter a chaotic and disturbing situation with his concierge concerning the fate of that money. This leads him into a deeper exploration of his life choices and the various relationships within this social milieu. Meanwhile, characters like the "Grand-Père" and "Grand-Gosse" weave in and out of "Nom-d’un-petit-bonhomme"'s story, highlighting the interconnectedness of their lives as they each grapple with their personal dilemmas, desires, and the weight of their decisions.
