«Le Café du pauvre» is the novel by Alphonse Boudard, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (284 pages, in French).
A young man returns from General De Gaulle's army to a Paris of 1946, wounded, decorated and penniless. As coffee is scarce, his only luxury is the 'poor man's coffee': love. Between odd jobs and women of various kinds, he experiences a learning of life and love with much humor.
Subtitled 'roman' on the cover, it belongs to the Livre de Poche collection (number 5996) and offers the complete text.
Aimed at readers of French fiction who appreciate humor and an ironic view of the postwar period; an author who leaves no one indifferent.
Alphonse Boudard was a French novelist and playwright. He won the 1977 Prix Renaudot for Les Combattants du petit bonheur. Boudard's 1995 novel Dying childhood was awarded and recognised by the French Academy with a Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.
