The Man Who Walked Through Walls by Marcel Aymé
4.0
I learned of The Man Who Walked Through Walls while researching Paris and hearing about the
monument honoring the author in Montmartre. So I purchased Monsieur Ayme's collection of short stories titled with his most well known story.
The stories are whimsical, sometimes about time travel of some sort, but with an underlying serious tone. As I am writing this in the time of Covid 19 lockdowns, this phrase about "the war" stuck with me: The secret trials [the governments] held came up with nothing very useful...In the meantime, their peoples were getting bored. Civilians of all nations were growing gloomy and ill-tempered.
