«Le Roi n'avait pas ri» is the historical novel by Guillaume Meurice, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (231 pages, in French).
The novel follows Triboulet, jester to Louis XII and Francis I, in a life of excess and mockery with which he challenges the limits of his freedom, until a joke crosses the line. Narrated by a 21st-century jester, the story reflects on whether power tolerates laughter and whether the irreverence allowed by a king becomes reverence.
The French publication dates from March 2, 2022.
For readers of historical fiction and humor interested in the relationship between power and irreverence.
