Lo rabassier bigame - Luc Delestre

We knew the truffle dogs, the truffle boars and even, on certain windless days, the initiates in search of the black diamond following the light tobacco colored fly. But no one would have imagined that a man could be a "truffler". However, this is what happened in Monroque, a village in the Vaucluse mountains.
This story, full of humor, looks at life with the innocence of one who knows, but cannot say anything.

Coneissiam lei rabassiers chins, lei rabassiers pòrcs e meme, quauquei jorns sensa vent, leis iniciats a la recerca dau diamant negre seguissent la mosca color tabac clar. Mai degun auriá imaginat qu'un òme posquesse èstre « rabassier ». Es pasmens çò que s'es produch a Monrocàs, vilatge dei monts de la Vauclusa. Aquest racònte, plen d'umor, pausa un regard sus la vida, amé l'innocéncia d'aqueu que saup, mai pòu ren dire.

The author:

Born in 1953 to a well-known father and mother, Luc DELESTRE should have been a notary or a civil servant, but a misdirection turned him into a nomad, digging his furrow on the planet as a consultant.
If he could not be a painter, a nun or a secret agent, he started writing to share with the reader all the flavors of the imaginary lives of his contemporaries.
