Une Tablette aux ancêtres
"If I had been Taiwanese, I probably would have thrown in front of me the big wooden propitiatory beans, the boa-bue, three times to see if all these gods world approved of my amazing adventure. "
A researcher based in Taiwan is confronted with the discovery of a funerary tablet in an abandoned house. His life and consciousness are upset: spirits and ghosts of Taiwan and China visit him, surround it and testify to their history. This short book is the first of a new collection entitled Liminaires: a collection of literary texts evocating a geographical and cultural elsewhere. The diversity of experience here gives voice to the intimate ways of engaging in a sensitive narrative, narrative of the other and self-revealing.
