""Think of the sentence I underline and let us organize something for the near future.""

Jean Cocteau avait annoncé à sa mère les contours du personnage qu'il méditait pour La Moitié d'ombre premier titre du Grand écart : « ce sera un coeur riche et pur mêlé aux bassesses d'une ville et qui marche au bord comme les somnambules au bord d'un toit. Une sensibilité qui désire dans le vague et trouve une réponse courte et se dépense comme s'il s'agissait d'un amour maternel ». Quinze ans après son aventure avec la comédienne Madeleine Carlier l'auteur tissait sur la trame de cet amour malheureux un roman bref comme un épilogue de Thomas l'imposteur.
