When Emmanuel Carrère’s collection of articles and critical texts, Il ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~’~~~~~~ où aller, was published ~~~ ~~~~~~~, ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ radio, since Carrère, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~, ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ few years earlier, ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~. ~~’~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~. ~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ deal of affection ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~. ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ debate, when he ~~~, ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~, ~~~~ ~~~~~~’~~ ~~~~~~~~, ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ magazine, while I ~~~, ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~, ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~, ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~, of any means ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~, ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~-~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~. ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ me that he ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ swerve.

But ~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ publication of his ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~, La ~~~~~~~ is ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~. ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ silly of me ~~~ ~~~~ no.

The ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~, ~~~~ ~~~~~~ he uses again ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ appartment. ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ was at Leibnitz’s, ~~~ ~~~~ Theodicy:

“Thereupon ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~, ~~~ was no longer ~~ ~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ world,

solemque ~~~~~, ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ norat”.

And ~~~~~~~, ~~~~~~~~’~~ ~~~~~ is ~~~~ ~~~~~~. ~~~ is both a ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~, ~~ beautiful flat, ~~~ ~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ arrondissement of Paris.

Carrère ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ a bobo, ~~ "~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~", ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ social categories most ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ who do.

“What ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ that, if tomorrow ~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ to give up ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~, ~~ would find that ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~, ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~, ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~, ~~ ~~~~~ more in line ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~, ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ unjust.”

One will note, very ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~,  ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ “~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ make arrangements elsewhere”, ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~, ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ an elsewhere.
