La Queue Du Méchant
by Lyne Laure
€ 19.00
ISBN: 9782487813014
Language: French
There are stories that begin in a stairwell, others in a baby bottle, a fountain, or a breathing machine. Some emerge from an unexpected laugh in a bathtub. Others crawl, rumble, growl, in the shadow of a world barely out of step with our own. All the stories you are about to read have one thing in common: They watch us. They lie in wait for us. They tell of humanity in its many guises: grotesque, tender, cruel, wild, funny, rebellious, lost, or lucid. They penetrate the skin of reality to reveal its underground worlds, its monstrosities, its beauties.
For behind the clothes of everyday life, the familiar walls, the well-kept silences, there are hidden presences: a voice we no longer listen to, a stifled cry, a part of childhood that refuses to grow up, a monster that waits. These stories are fragments of truth hidden in absurd, disturbing, or luminous fictions. They don't seek to please. They seek to awaken, to provoke a crack, a laugh, a discomfort. To hold up a mirror that is both grotesque and profound. Be warned: what awaits you is not always what you think. And what you believe may no longer belong to you.
