la revendique. Parce qu'il ne s'est pas retrouvé sur mon blog par hasard. Et qu'il ne s'y est pas rendu qu'une fois. Il l'a suivi, pisté, décortiqué. Quand je suis en face de lui, maintenant, j'ai l'impression de me promener nu en pleine ville. Révolté par cette trahison, par ce viol virtuel , le narrateur décide de ne plus adresser la parole à son père. Pour se racheter, ce dernier lui fait un don... une plongée dans le passé qui ne sera pas sans conséquence. Un roman de la filiation et de l'écriture intime. -- 4e de couvThe Skull (Canadian Edition): A Tyrolean Folktale

Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both?
