2019 (Verticales) Alexandre Labruffe : Gas Station Chronicles

Chroniques d’une station-service (Gas Station Chronicles) gives voice to a gas-station attendant, Beauvoire, whose literary nickname does not change a thing from his daily routine: managing through the control-screens the comings and goings of drivers, dealing with the cash register or the bar. This Gas Station, located in the northern suburbs of Paris, could become the epicenter of a social drama or an adreline-fuelled robbery, but the author has preferred to make it the ideal observation tower of the modern world through the eyes of a person far from ordinary. With his contemplative attitude, Beauvoire scrutinizes and comments on the apparent inertia of everyday life. He tracks bits of transcendence or involuntary poetry in the speeches and attitudes of customers. Hence the amused or even diverted references of our gas-station philosopher to the writings of Jean Baudrillard or to a biography of Scott Fitzgerald, as well as the erudite debates with his friend Nietzland during their endless board-games.

Turning the art of brief into an authentic novel, tender and caustic, Chroniques d’une station-service is an attempt to exhaust the possibilities of a typical ‘non-place’, of a society in lack of inner-fuel and true meaning. Through small impressionist touches, the author explores the field of sub-ordinary life, with its failures and pretenses, to extract the raw material of a vivid and funny imagination.


It is a real pleasure to read, a dazzling discovery, at the same time as a cry for help.Le Figaro

The term microadventure was made common by British adventurer and author Alastair Humphreys and is defined as an overnight outdoor adventure that is "small and achievable, for normal people with real lives".[1][2] The New York Times described microadventures as "short, perspective-shifting bursts of travel closer to home, inspiring followers to pitch a tent in nearby woods, explore their city by moonlight, or hold a family slumber party in the backyard."[3]

The concept is flexible enough in its definition to allow the individual to choose the location, duration, and overall scope of the adventure. Microadventures are generally considered affordable in that little to no specialized gear is required, travel costs are trivial or nonexistent, and only a minimal amount of provisions are needed for the outing. Often participants will sleep out under the stars using a bivvy bag, rather than a tent, and wild swims are actively encouraged. Microadventures have proved popular with people whose lives are busy with work and/or family commitments.

The Collins Dictionary blog recognised 'microadventure' as a neologism in April 2014.[4] Microadventure is popular as an online hashtag, used on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to share microadventure experiences.[5]

Publications

In 2012, Humphreys was nominated a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year award for his campaign to involve ordinary people in microadventures.[6]

Humphreys published a microadventures book in June 2014, which documents a series of "short, inexpensive trips" around the UK.[7]

For 2015, Humphreys put together a 'Year of Microadventure', a calendar suggesting activities for followers to take part in once a month, all-year-round.[8]

Microadventures have been discussed on both BBC Radio 5Live[9] and Talk Sport.[10] In the US, Outside Magazine described "The Benefits of Microadventure"[11] in a series of articles written of "A Quest to Boost Happiness". Microadventures were also featured on CNN's "Human to Hero" series[1] and the Huffington Post series.[12] The Financial Times described microadventures as "short, thrilling trips that fit in around work and family commitments."[13] BBC Online featured a microadventure in a series of microvideos.[14]
