ONE may expect imagination in a work by this author, and certainly find it in Bureau de Change. It is vivid, stimulating, unusual. There is a queer shop in a dark street in Paris, so difficult to find that nobody finds it twice. It is a bureau de change de maux, a shop wheie you may exchange evils.
Here come those whose lives are intolerable; the registration fee is twenty francs. You pay it, and wait among the customers for one who will exchange his evil for yours.
Here comes Jerry, so characteristically English. He is just a little ' tight ' ; he is going back to England tomorrow and his worry in life is his bank manager. He would exchange that worry and not be badgered about overdrafts. He pays the fee; and the shop, the patron, the customers, are rather seen through his eyes.
M. Salignac , playing cards with a greasy pack and wishing to exchange life for death ; M. Fachet with unbearable toothache ; M. Jallique , a medical student who cannot pass an exam. ; Madame Blanc with far too many children. Then Madame Brell comes in, who has none at all. Then Goitreau, who is so wise that there are no mysteries left, and Volet who cannot sleep at night for fear, and Madame Guigeot , whose husband must die on the guillotine tomorrow.
Jerry looks on. You may exchange, but is it worth it ? You can never find the place again. An overdraft ? There might be worse things than that. Perhaps he is getting a little sober. He thinks he'll be going. A mere overdraft. Is anyone happy at all ?
' Bureau de Change' was broadcast in the Regional programme last night.
