Summary:
"Le 17 mars 2020, par la grâce d'un virus, un sans-abri se retrouve confiné avec une créature de rêve. Est-ce la femme qui jadis enflamma son adolescence, une mythomane, une perverse manipulatrice, ou une ultime chance de survie ? Et si le sort du genre humain dépendait de la relation qui va se nouer, dans une maison à l'abandon, entre un ancien prof de 35 ans brisé par l'injustice et une exilée en manque d'amour? Avec ce conte philosophique irrésistible et poignant, au coeur d'une actualité bouleversant tous nos repères, Didier van Cauwelaert entraîne nos peurs, nos détresses, nos colères dans un tourbillon de révolte, de joie libératrice et d'espoir."-- Back cover.
"On March 17, 2020, by the grace of a virus, a homeless man finds himself confined with a dream creature. Is it the woman who once enriched his adolescence, a mythomaniac, a perverse manipulator, or a last chance of survival? What if the fate of mankind depended on the relationship that will be forged, in an abandoned house, between a 35-year-old former teacher broken by injustice and an exile in need of love? With this irresistible and poignant philosophical tale..."-- Cataloger's translation, abridgment, and interpretation of the synopsis on the cover.
