NOVELS
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON HUMANS
The Chronicles of Little Jack
Little Jack is a small Jack Russell who observes humans from the best possible vantage point: at their feet.
Witnessing their loves, their lies, their ambitions and their petty cowardice, he recounts their world with humor, tenderness and that particular lucidity that dogs sometimes possess.
Because humans talk a lot. Little Jack, on the other hand, just watches.
Humans often seek to change their lives. They sometimes forget to look at the one they already have.
LITTLE JACK
THE AUTHOR
To write about human relationships in all their truth
Charles Ballery writes contemporary novels in which desire, feelings and intimate choices reveal the complexity of human beings.
His stories are less interested in appearances than in what they conceal: the silences within a couple, the emotions we refuse to admit, the encounters that shake our certainties and the unexpected paths love can take.
Through his novels and The Chronicles of Little Jack, he casts a free, sensitive and sometimes ironic eye on the way we love and live together.
