This is the crux of the strange relationship that Leautaud had with Marie Dormy, from 1933 until his death. It is also the relationship of Leautaud with his other mistress Anne Cayssac, whom he had nicknamed "Le Fleau". One cannot represent Paul Leautaud without evoking his diary, whose presence is physical, cumbersome, captivating; nor the society of cats that he set up in Fontenay, (about forty at any given time, plus the dogs...). The universe in which Leautaud lives is a prison one, made of a vast house with floors, placed in the middle of a disordered and invading vegetation. No humans here. For they are foolish, pretentious, conceited.
