Summary
Alain Dodier: Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche – Book Four
Look at that silhouette: a shapeless hat, a clay-colored raincoat that rips the air like pelican wings, a screeching moped. Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche is a unique comic phenomenon. He is not a 'hero' in the classical sense, rigid and self-confident. He's a jerk. Going down the stairs turns into a cinematic stunt. An investigation in foggy Normandy into a symphony of sneezes... J. K. J. Bloche lives! Here and now. His lively and supple demeanor is so similar to Mr. Hulot, Jacques Tati's hero. However, although J.K.J. and Hulot share some family traits, the role models of our investigator are something completely different: private detectives from classic American crime stories. Raymond Chandler, Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum are his personal pantheon!
In the fourth book there are the following five adventures of Jerome:
16. Letter
17. Orphanage
18. Paradise Corner
19. Like an elephant in a glass factory
20. Termination of contract
