This "grimoire" invites us to cross an incorruptible district within a world that is collapsing:
That of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It is under poetic-sociological finery that this ghetto, "the ring on the finger of Paris," is revealed. In an almost mythological vision, Pomerand restores its howlers, thugs, drunks, the church - "the only savage in the neighborhood" -, the intellectual whores, jazz and the "poètes" (Cocteau, Vian, Sartre...).
Alongside this long, ardent poem which prefigures the experiments of the beat generation, 47 metagraphed plates, rebus-like forms making the signs sing, adorn the text and breathe new symbolism into it, giving this singular work the tone of "a stop in the verbiage" (Jacques Baratier).
