The book's best promoter will be Charrière himself. He is already at work on a sequel to be called Papillon Comes Back—1945 to 1969. So much for Part II. What happens to him as a TV personality in the U.S. will properly belong to Part III, if he ever chooses to write it. Since he is evidently a man of charm, energy and perhaps genius, almost anything could happen. Maybe he will end up marrying Zsa Zsa Gabor or run for Governor of New York. On the track record, both the lady and the state might do worse.
