Lire un livre de Louis Gildas, c'est s'installer au coin du feu dans la pénombre, un verre de chouchen à la main, et entendre, à travers les mots, sa voix si reconnaissable qui résonne.

Lorsque, enfant encore, il arrachait à la science ses secrets ; quand, devenu homme, son génie s'élevait à des hauteurs o les autres hommes eussent été pris de vertige, était-il préoccupé d'une pensée...

The old-fashioned struggle for fairness has finally been abandoned. It was a misguided endeavor. The world is divided into two groups, pats and quads. The pats may kill the quads as they like, and do. The quads have no recourse but to continue with their lives. The Divers' Game is a thinly veiled description of our society, an extreme case that demonstrates a truth: we must change or our world will collapse. What is the effect of constant fear on...

Nous sommes tous des faits divers. Tous. Victimes ou coupables de ces gestes anodins sur lesquels le destin bascule. De ce hasard de grain de sable qui nous ensevelit ou nous ressuscite.
