«Kennedy et moi» is the novel by Jean-Paul Dubois, published by Seuil in 1996 in paperback, in French.
Samuel Polaris is going through a crisis: he buys a revolver, visits his wife's lover and bites his dentist. To regain his dignity he decides to get hold of the watch Kennedy was wearing on the day of his assassination. The novel portrays with a nervous and caustic tone those who consider themselves «normal» and is a reflection on the contemporary «counter-life».
The novel won the Prix littéraire France Télévision 1996; the cover bears the subtitle «roman».
For readers of contemporary French fiction who appreciate satire and misfit characters.
