Sixty-eight people on the decline, bourgeois-bohemian, middle managers or even emancipated women, exchange their ideas on short black and white stories and allow the author to express various thoughts on society. The topics covered are very varied: educational methods and problems, conflict between generations, women's emancipation, married life and its crises, decadence of society, politics, etc. There are no recurring characters. Les Frustrés have been translated into Italian, Castilian, Danish, German, English, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Portuguese. Source: Wikipedia (en)
