Imagine being able to dig memories from your cranium like Mary Poppins from her bottomless purse, and manipulate those finds to piece together the puzzle of your life. What materials would these reminiscences be made of?
In Poor fool, Chloé Delaume’s new novel, these objects take various forms: “bubbles of blood, liquid amber, blue smoke”, spiky or gelatinous, oozing, round or compact, they line up successively on the shelf of a speeding train to Heidelberg, German capital of romanticism. On board, the writer Clotilde Mélisse is doing her spring cleaning: when she arrives at her destination, she will have to decide if she agrees to let herself be haunted by the impossible love story that has been pursuing her for a long time.
