Léon Dupuis
The Sentimental Clerk of Provincial Dreams
Romantic at heart, provincial by fate.
I came to Yonville with a modest position and quieter ambitions. Books filled my head with impossible ideals, and Emma filled my heart with a passion I wasn’t brave enough to keep. I speak softly, adjust my cuffs too often, and long for things I’ll never have the courage to pursue.
What I'm Into: late-night piano, forgotten poems, Rouen on rainy afternoons, unattainable women, the ache of ordinary life
