In both "novellas" therefore, proposed here, the author semploie to look inside how anyone can survive, rebuild after suffering a personal storm that has swept all certainty, any anchorage, because all potentially BE.
Le Clézio like the characters attend the sidelines, away from the centers of power, beings dormant about BE marginalized or already Letant while paying them a loving gaze, full of tolerance and dune some understanding. It is with this in mind that it should daborder these two narratives that project us to the end of the world.
The first text takes us somewhere on a Korean island. A Western journalist back there, many years later. After that he lost his wife vernacular, swallowed by the sea as many of these women fishing snorkeling to bring something hardly survive. But this is of a double loss that he must saccommoder, dune indelible stain which earned him linfamie. Journalist of war, he attended the dune young woman rape and not nintervint despite the desperate look that the victim threw him.
This is out of prison sen that he returns to the scene dune happy life forever lost, spending his time fishing and especially vague daydream. He will meet a young girl, intrigued, curious, she also looking delle yourself, too beset by doubts and misfortunes which, little by little, will help him find new benchmarks and to restore meaning to his life.
The second text makes us travel between Africas and Paris where a teenager tells us, dune voice hardly raised, the shock of discovering what is the rape of a daughter, born mother who abandoned dune. How to live when one owes its existence to an act of pure savagery and lon is rejected soon came to the world to be the symbol of a intolerable act itself intolerable? It is this issue quexplore Le Clézio by listening relations between the teenager and her family dadoption.
However, the views of the author is not to justify, to analyze in depth. It remains on the surface because of the pain, digging things would mean making a hesitant life, almost flickering impossible because too unbearable. He prefers to look at and listen to his move characters cope with a succession of little things that will eventually create the dune impetus necessary to justify beginning to continue living despite everything.
So, this intimate book, almost minimalist takes on a dimension somewhat poetic and dreamlike, as sil sagissait of nightmares séveiller long it takes to evacuate despite pervasively present traces that remain.
