Sobre IBD

Ce livre est le rapport romancé de voyages aux Philippines attribué au personnage de Quentin Cumber, surnommé Cucumber 'Concombre'. C’est aussi une satire des milieux français de la recherche en sciences humaines, teintée d’un hommage respectueux à ces universitaires qui travaillent sur des sujets difficiles dans des conditions mesquines. De Quentin Cumber, on pourrait dire qu’il ne savait pas où il allait; néanmoins il y est allé quand même et en est revenu. Il aurait pu ne pas y retourner de peur que la magie de la première fois soit ternie par les couches successives des nouvelles visites et des mises au point qui se feraient d’elles-mêmes, mais il y est retourné jusqu’au jour où il a compris qu’il avait perdu à jamais sa vision innocente, car ce n’est pas impunément que l’on analyse ses impressions.
