Locus desperatus

by Mari Michele
Locus desperatus

We have all, sooner or later, had to part with something we thought was ours: but without what is ours, would we still be able to say who we really are? The protagonist of this novel lives in an apartment decorated with great taste and an equal amount of paranoia, two traits that are difficult to escape. Especially when you are suddenly served with an eviction notice that seems to have an unearthly origin… A haunted house can be a curse or an opportunity to take stock of one’s past.Reduced to this, I was the king: of my things, of my collections, that is, of myself, who had systematically transferred all my innermost particles into these collections.
