sondent la vie - cette trame qui se tisse - comme une perpétuelle mise en scène. Ces neuf récits jouent le jeu de l'oeuvre littéraire, cherchant au passage à « connaître le fin fond de l'histoire », celle d'un adultère, d'une première fois, ou celle du père et de son enfance troublée par la guerre. Voluptés ou la réalité de l'écriture de soi explore intelligemment la place qu'occupent le langage et le désir au sein de nos existences. Aspirant à devenir « pur plaisir », Marianne Apostolides se laisse aller au récit comme glisserait un vaisseau de vérité absolue. 2014.
