Les Valeureux
Meet the Valeureux: five Solal cousins on the sun-baked Greek island of Cephalonia — above all Mangeclous, the gluttonous "bey of liars," as fertile in ingenious schemes as Ulysses, who founds a one-man university, addresses impertinent letters to the Queen of England, and dreams of a Jewish state that would make him a minister. When their nephew Solal invites them to Geneva, the five old men set off with enthusiasm and incompetence in equal measure. A comic pendant to Belle du Seigneur, assembled from the pages Gallimard made Cohen cut, this last volume of the Solal saga is both the funniest of Cohen's books and his elegy: the laughter of a people driven from History, frozen in comedy as they were soon to be frozen in pain.
