Je ne sais pas si j’ai aimé ou détesté ce livre. Je l’ai trouvé écœurant, dégoûtant, dérangeant mais aussi touchant. Il m’a fait réfléchir. Dans tous les cas j’ai beaucoup plus apprécié la fin que le début. L’ensemble est juste un condensé de tout ce qui est mauvais dans le monde. Et comme toujours, les histoires d’animaux ont réussi à me faire pleurer.

It took a few chapters for me to fully engage with Despente’s unusually crude style. But once I was in, i was entranced. Du FAUVE en encre.
