Il était temps de rendre à Paul Arène (1843-1896) l'hommage qui lui revient ! Ce professeur, journaliste, écrivain provençal fut oublié au profit du grand Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) qui lui doit cependant plusieurs des Lettres de mon Moulin.

Textes de Paul Arène : Le Linot aveugle, L'Âne de Nazaire, Les haricots de Pitalugues. Textes d'Alphonse Daudet : La chèvre de Monsieur Seguin, L'Arlésienne, Le sous-préfet aux champs.

C'est par ce quatrain décapant du poète belgo-genevois que s'ouvre Le Bestiaire des écrivains, déjà publié chez Autrement dit. Ce succès et la réédition à L'Âge d'Homme de son recueil nous ont poussé à consacrer un livre audio entier à cette œuvre originale. L'humour le dispute à l'exigence ; l'assonance et l'allitération concourent à la musique des mots ; les images se font insolites.
