He does not care about the news and movements of society and the city, nor does he think about his past, recall his relatives, or consider his future. He seems to have cut off all ties with modern society. He always maintained a straightforward approach and refused to accept rational directions of thought. At the same time, he strives to materialize himself so that he can dissipate and melt into a bit of matter in the universe. In the end, he was regarded as a mental patient by the police because of the "weird" speech he made on the street and was sent to the hospital. "Proceeding Transcript" has the rich fantasy color of Le Cléchio's early works. Adam was considered a "madman" by society because he told the truth, but he showed extremely high intelligence and amazing thinking ability in his tit-for-tat conversations with the medical team. This contrasting writing style, full of irony and rebelliousness, shows Le Cléchio's own intuitive questioning of people, society, and modern civilization. As the Swedish Academy commented on him, he "is a writer who marks a new beginning in literature. His works contain poetic innovation, sensual ecstasy, and an exploration of human nature under the dominance of civilization and free from civilization." Former French President Charles de Gaulle once commented: ""Proceedings" allowed me to enter another world. Maybe this is a real world."
