I'm Not the Only One

I'm Not the Only One Book Description

I'm Not the Only One is one of Jean-Louis Fournier's most melancholic, saddest and perhaps most striking narratives.

“I'm tired of being alone, I'm tired of being lonelier, older, and uglier every day. If I had known this would happen to me, I would never have grown old.
It's the hottest days of summer, I'm suffocating because of the heat, and despite the harsh warnings made by the government, my relatives - who are no longer close to me but distant acquaintances - do not call and ask if I drink enough water.
Everyone left me, ten years ago my wife Sylvie, and recently my little cat Salomé, in other words, everyone who helped me live my life left me.
My house is too big for me now and my neighbors' shutters are always closed."

Fournier describes his loneliness with the restless innocence of a child forgotten in the store, waiting for his mother, while keeping black humor in his writing.
