Le Jeu des coquilles de nautilus


Enormous scope and vision, poetic flashes, discreet romanticism, solid plots (...) that is Vonarburg.

(Magazine Littéraire)




Illustration : Jacques Lamontagne

"Those who inhabit the Centre are many, those who would be Voyagers too... Suddenly, you think of the Voyagers. Perhaps some of them have returned during the night, or a short while ago. You realize, then, that you are at the Centre, The Centre, and a kind of vertigo makes you close your eyes, clutch the sides of the bed ; it feels like you're falling through the stone floors, being sucked into a great void : the underground room that houses the gate to other universes."

Her name is Kathryn, Mari, Mélané or Talitha. She travels from one universe to another, according to the whims of the Bridge - or of her memories ? Perhaps you met her already in a Venice-like Montreal, with its amazing sirens, or in wild and deserted Baïblanca, as she takes a walk among the statues of Colibri Park...

Six stories, six journeys in the infinitely mutable space-time of Elisabeth Vonarburg
