A veritable "survival manual" in a hostile environment.

Three formidable performers carry Olivier Cadiot's eventful, subtly political novel. They talk, deliriously, mixing fiction and reality in an attempt to heal their pain of living, crafting between them a veritable "survival manual" in a hostile environment.

This is Ludovic Lagarde's eighth exploration of a work by Olivier Cadiot, as he walks freely through this novel in which the characters attempt to "start all over again". Everything means both their own battered, bereaved lives, and the world around them, itself in a state of disarray. In a more or less abandoned family home that will serve as their retreat, a writer, an anthropologist and a musician cultivate a desire for transmission, constantly balancing between union and disunity, moving from introspective doubt to collective exaltation.
