Historic of the books
Presentation of “Our chow is not a dog”, volumes 1 to 10
by
François (the author) and Po-Paï the chow (his collaborator)
How does one manage to make 10 books, of 400 pages each, on a chow? It is
quite simple. First of all, you make volume 1. When you finished volume 1, you
start volume 2. As soon as you finished volume 2, you then start the volume 3
and...
What? Doesn't my explanation satisfy you?
Well! Then, euh..., euh… Once upon a time... No!, not like that neither.
Let see, let see...
Oh! dash it! Spontaneous! All was spontaneous! What to say more?
I had already written several books when Po-Paï the chow arrived amongst
us. He was so beautiful, so much touching, so nice, so much all, that I could
not do anything else than to devote to Him a written book of my hand.
It was initially a first booklet of 60 pages.
Our Po-Paï was still nice and funny, He was entitled thus to a standard
book of 220 pages.
He continued to be nice, funny, beautiful, charming and all and all. I
thus pushed to a book of 400 pages. I thought well that it was a lot for a
single chow but I said to myself that, after all, He really deserved it.
And He also deserved a second book of 400 pages: volume 2.
And He deserved a volume 3.
Then a volume 4.
And finally a volume 5.
All these books have been auto-published and sold by correspondence by
myself. At this stage, the “Guinness Book of the Records” allotted an
homologation.
To thank my faithful readers, I devoted a volume 6 to them. I gathered
the memories of their own chows-chows. This “chowesque” biography was
done with the collaboration of eight chows-chows’ owners.
I cannot recall why I started a volume 7. All that I know, is that since
the middle of this book, I entirely let Po-Paï speak. I was fed up to be the
only one to sacrifice. I then will let Po-Paï tell you the continuation:
“Indeed, since page 213 of volume 7, I, Po-Paï, am the only one who
talk, I wanted to give you my point of view about philosophy, religion, money,
etc. As much subjects that you, humans, like to approach with much serious.
I then asked my Master to make me heaps of illustrations because I wanted
to make a volume 8 with many funny images.
Volume 9 is devoted to my fiancée Raï-Ma the chow. We have both
exchanged a correspondence for several months and as I have nothing to hide, I
disclose all to you.
To date, volume 10 is achieved. We will undoubtedly stop at this stage
to make a round figure. I will join together one day these ten volumes in a
single book of four thousand pages to see whether it is thicker than a
dictionary.”
Po-Paï and François
Nota
bene from Po-Paï:
Before
writing all these books about me, my master François had already written ten
books these last years. François is an engineer who likes undoubtedly to speak
about very complicated subjects because he likes more the numbers than the words.
If he wrote so much about me, it is because he wanted to show that he can count
at least up to ten: one book, two books, three books..., ten books about Po-Paï.
For
those who are interested, here are the other books written by my master François:
"Stop
making yourself ugly!"
"It
is true!": (comprises thousand seven hundred maxims on all, all, all!)
"Pretty
Marie": a grandmother watches her mischievous grand-daughter living
"The
novel of LETS": Local Exchanges and Trading System (barter)
"Who
are you woman?": an answer to the book “The rules”
"To
not become mad"
"Initiate
me with esotericism!"
"My
last book"
