Drôle de casting #[nn]

From Pascal Barbe and Maurice Antunes comes this lively French-language comedy with a title that says it all — Drôle de casting ("What a Casting!"). The cover sets the playful tone perfectly: against theatrical red curtains, four wildly mismatched characters share the stage — a muscular man in pink shorts clutching a barrel, a guitar-strumming Elvis-style crooner in red trousers, a glamorous blonde, and a bemused chef in kitchen whites, all while a golden trophy is dangled tantalizingly from above. Published in 2020 by Les éditions A&H, this looks like a genuinely fun read for anyone who enjoys humor built around an absurd, anything-goes audition spectacle.
