" Cours Désir ". Adresse équivoque s'il en est ! La nuit qu'ils passeront ensemble dans Paris vaudra à Botul de comparaître devant le tribunal professionnel des taxis parisiens. Pour sa défense, Botul se compare à Nietzsche, victime du démon de midi, amoureux tragique de Lou Andreas Salomé. Le récit qu'il fait de leur rencontre atteste que le Surhomme ne vaut pas grand-chose en face de la Surfemme. Car Lou, selon les termes de Botul, " était plus qu'une femme ". Parente de Lilith et de Lolita, elle incarne un démon mutant, moderne, celui de la " sexualité " femelle. Miraculeusement retranscrite, cette géniale plaidoirie confirme que Botul, ce penseur méconnu, fut le plus grand philosophe de tradition orale du XXe siècle.Nine lives: death and life in New Orleans
