"La tintinosphère en ébullition" par Pierre Assouline
Dear Pierre (the man with a chip on his shoulder),
Thank you for your charming article in L’EXPRESS, dated the 20th December.
What fun it must be to criticize others when you don’t not know what you are talking about.
Having met your first wife who finally escaped you and one can imagine that when she awoke in the morning, believed that she was in a cemetery, only confirms your non-respect for women.
In Belgium, it is very difficult to be a VEUVE and to be married at the same time.
But you find this very funny.
But you find this very funny.
Why are you such a hypocrite?
Is it simply because you have a chip on your shoulder?

You, who enjoyed placing HERGÉ alongside Josef MENGELE in your Biography of the former and who was obliged to change your text after being confronted by my wife because you were desperate to publish an up-dated version due to the previous poor sales of the Biography. You, who publicly said that you were really happy that you had never met HERGÉ.
As a well-respected and detested writer you will be the first to acknowledge that an author is judged by what he writes. Therefore, one can conclude that you detest HERGÉ but you are now defending his Work! As they say on ARTE.
Cher Pierre, Gardez la chambre!
Patrice Leconte wrote to me and apologized for spreading the Fake News. This is why I publicly made peace with him. Albert Algoud also wrote and apologized for insulting both my wife and myself. That is why I proposed that he leads the celebrations for HADDOCK 2021.
Always check your facts before insulting people in public.
Looking forward to hearing from.
Best wishes
Nick
