| Summary | "Gringalette" by Hugues Rebell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Bichot, a clown at the Cirque Cusani, who takes on a paternal role for two young girls, Juzaine and Gringalette. As the narrative unfolds, Bichot grapples with the challenges of caring for these children while navigating themes of innocence, ambition, and the harsh realities of their world. The opening of "Gringalette" introduces us to Bichot, the beloved clown, who, after a brief hiatus due to a fire at the circus, decides to take a walk with a young girl named Juzaine, whom he treats like a daughter. As they stroll through Montmartre, they encounter another girl, Gringalette, who is alone and distressed because her parents have been taken by the police. Bichot, feeling sympathy for her plight, invites Gringalette to join them for a meal, showcasing his caring nature. This poignant scene sets the stage for the bond that forms between the three, as the clown's dual role of protector and mentor gradually emerges amid the backdrop of their struggles and aspirations. The complexities of their relationships, especially as they relate to performance and acceptance in a demanding societal environment, become central themes in the unfolding narrative.
