bouché, quiconque subit du harcèlement au travail et de la violence psychologique et sociale sera ici en terrain connu. On y lit les mœurs réfrigérantes et le néo-cynisme de lépoque occupée à pleine capacité par la lutte des places, le narcissisme ambiant et la mort de lempathie. Considérés miroirs déformants, coupables éhontés ou menteurs de première, on abandonne les gens brisés si jamais on a pris le temps dentendre ce quils peinent à raconter. Stress garanti. Cœurs serrés. Rythme denfer. Fidèle à sa manière, Hélène Monette allie prose, poésie, lyrisme et rythme fulgurant. Elle dénonce avec lénergie du désespoir et la force de ses mots les conditions de travail de ce quon nomme maintenant le capital humain. " -- 4e de couv.Papal sin: structures of deceit
