Résumé
This is a collection of short stories probing beneath the surface of untroubled domesticity. Images from the natural world become symbols both of intoxicating freedom and menacing anarchy: Eve is attracted and repelled by the ants in her kitchen; Margaret… obsessively feeds a spider on her balcony for days; the threat of rats haunts a lonely housewife. Other stories examine our relationship to death: an hysterical giggle when a coffin shoots into the cremation chamber; a young man wandering through a grey land followed by his mind in the form of an argumentative black dog. 1994.
