Un étrange mais intrigant objet littéraire, à mi-chemin entre la poésie et la prose; réflexion sur le Soi et le monde, sur le pouvoir mais aussi le vertige de la singularité.

Well this was odd.
KG creates a claustrophobic world and gives the most original way of exploring it that I've ever read (not spoiling it). But let's just say you get a very complete portrait of the universe. While some things were really original and left me wanting more, most of the actual twists were things I've seen many times before. I think KG is a good writer that kept growing after this.
I can't say that I understood everything (not at all) and this is definitely not a book for those that needs all the answers, but overall I liked it.
Trigger warnings for death, violence and child abuse.

Ça se veut philosophique et poétique, mais pas assez pour en valoir la peine. Phrases trop longues pour rien. Beaucoup de répétition.

4,5/5. Une belle découverte, tant pour le livre que pour l'auteure! Une histoire très difficile à expliquer ou même simplement d'en parler... Il faut saluer l'écriture qui est poétique et détachée à la fois. Un style assez unique. Un mélange des genres dans l'histoire, un peu de science-fiction, d'introspection et de réflexion sociale. Un livre assez étrange, mais que j'ai grandement apprécié et lu d'un trait! À découvrir!
