Denis Marquet innovates with this book, proposing a new genre: a contemporary fable orchestrated around a gallery of characters, each emblematic of the human impasses of our society, 'Babylone'. A deep psychological and philosophical knowledge underlies the entire narrative. The writing, sometimes playing with ironic anticipation or a very fresh tone of fantasy, is always realistic. Thus, the reader easily recognizes themselves in this daily life so close to their own: a mirror that will make them laugh, shudder, or cry—and sometimes all three at once. Very short stories (sometimes just a single sentence), whose depth requires multiple readings, alternate with stories of more classic dimensions. The whole forms a symphony that draws the reader into the darkest parts of humanity, but whose final movements open a breach toward the light.
