I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this book; I really should have found it decades ago. It's very much the sort of thing I like to read. It's old (published in 1941), a juvenile coming-of-age story, and it has a compelling quality that's startling.

Joe Carlin is an 18-year-old boy who has the showbiz bug. In 1941 that means RADIO. Declining his father's invitation to join him in his department store business, Joe pursues his dream of becoming a radio drama star. It's a struggle at first: deceitful acquaintances take advantage, or try to.

Ce matin, premier lundi de l’année, le thermomètre avoisinait les -5°C. Une vague de froid semble installée pour quelques jours sur la France.

Ce mardi, la température est légèrement plus douce (autour de -3°C), mais le froid est vif à vélo. Je ne croise qu’une personne qui marche d’un pas pressé sur la voie verte, dans une complète obscurité.

Ce mercredi matin, je suis parti […]

Vue des hauteurs d'un petit massif dans le Gard. Le ciel est bleu, parsemé de quelques légers nuages. La végétation, de type garrigue, est basse et composée principalement de chênes verts. La vue donne du côté des Cévennes.
Un oiseau posé sur le bord d'une petite cascade sur un cours d'eau. Un arbre sur la gauche. Au-dessus de l'eau, des brumes de vapeurs. L'eau au premier plan semble sans mouvement, tandis qu'après la cascade le cours d'eau se transforme en torrent. Sur la droite le numéro de la chronique précédé d'un dièse.
Un fleuve peu profond entouré de végétation hivernale, avec des arbres dénudés et une colline en arrière-plan au petit matin. De l'herbe légèrement blanchie et des petites roches au premier plan sur la gauche de la photographie.
Un chemin le long d'un petit fleuve dans l'obscurité du matin. Les arbres se découpent dans un ciel dégagé.
