Kız arkadaşımın hediyesiydi bir solukta okumuştum. Truffaut'un yalın sineması beni hep büyülemiştir. Godard'dan çok daha üstün bulmuşumdur kendisini.

The outlines, treatments, screenplays and notes that served as the dramatic wireframe of Francois Truffaut's first 4 Antoine Doinel films (the last, Love on the Run, came after publication.) Doinel, Truffaut's alter ego, quickly converts from tragic hero to gentle bourgeois comedian, though he remains a lost soul, victim of a thwarted romantic instinct instilled by his attractive, self-obssessed mother. Remarkably, though we are given the films but as blueprints, our sympathy and amusement is readily invested.
