In mathematics and logic, there is a method called reductio ad absurdum, or "reduction to absurdity" - a technique used to prove the inconsistency of an opinion by showing a contradiction either within the opinion itself or in its consequences. Jérôme de Verdier applied this method to contemporary society in his book "The Dress," resulting in a novel filled with sharp dialogues, French humor, irony, and grotesque - a true triumph of absurdity.
It can be boldly said that Jérôme continues the tradition of Eugène Ionesco and Samuel Beckett. "The Dress" is a book about how the world is going crazy, but love and humor are still able to save it.
Plot:
One evening, before setting the table, Isabelle gives her husband a dress. She wants Jean-Pierre to wear it for dinner. He cannot understand - is it a bad joke, is his wife sick, or has the world changed so much? But guests will arrive soon, and time is running out. Jean-Pierre is in for a series of phantasmagorical twists: a floral dress in a box, frightened guests, an attempt to strangle a neighbor (with the same dress). But more on that later.
Jérôme de Verdier questions the adequacy of what is happening in the world and explores the relationships between couples, mocking both blissful progressives and gloomy conservatives.
18+ because the character is nervous and smokes a lot.
