Inclusion in other works

In Jean -Claude Lauzons film Leolo Duch arm L' Avalee of avalés plays the real key role: One day brings a vagrant " tamer of verses " a book in Leolos House: L' Avalee of avalés. The book serves as a support for the wobbly kitchen table. At night, wrapped up, in the light of the open refrigerator, Leolo reads that book - and again the handwritten entry under the title on the inside " because I dream, I 'm not ." He begins to write itself to reflect. Leolo and his family are in the imagination ultimately lead to figures of one - maybe this - Romans. Until the very end: "I will rest his head between two words in L' Avalee of avalés ".
