The true story of Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered a stroke and only his left eye wasn’t left paralyzed.
A note to people who dream of becoming cripple: when you can walk- you will get laid, you will drive fast cars, eat good food, and your children love you. But if you go brain dead, your wife will start cheating on you with Hamlet characters, your son will pick up some faggy dance, people will start shaving your grandfather even though he likes his beard, and then they will put you out on a wooden platform over the ocean to die. I once had an appendicitis and when I woke up from surgery my sister was impregnated by the Mexican nurse who put in my catheter. He had the hands of a French sculptor. Anyway, little Margarite will be 6 next month, and I can’t wait to give her the used push lawnmower I got her for her birthday.
