The Big Empty Life of Alphonse Tabouret

By Sibylline Desmazières and Capucine

In the middle of a quiet, not-so-special clearing in the woods, a wee tinywhatsit wakes up without any memory at all. So he sets off in search of hismaker, as well as some sense of purpose in Life. Along the way, he encounters abizarre cast of silly, helpful, and oddly poignant characters who teach him howto survive this crazy game called Existence.The Big Empty Life of AlphonseTabouret is an existential fairy tale about Life, Love, Loss, and the search foranswers to questions we all ask nobody in particular. While cute and silly onthe surface, almost every encounter is metaphorical (without beingheavy-handedly so). This adorably engaging and heartwarming tale invites thereader to decipher the life lessons gleaned by Alphonse in personal terms thatspeak to today's social conditions. Through the innocent lens of simple, cutecharacterization, readers are presented with honest questions about parenting, materialism, addiction, codependency, narcissism, depression, and the search formeaning that we all undergo every day.
