Le Regard Libre N° 35 - Nicolas Jutzet
What good news! His third book follows in the footsteps of the previous two. It's breathtaking in its plot and touching in the sometimes disturbing depth of its characters. Once again, the author demonstrates his ability to tackle difficult themes with talent, without lapsing into pathos or oversimplification. After The shadows of the half-breed and Father's name, make way for The Order of Things.
It's about physical and mental illness, drugs, prostitution, free relationships and much more. Often caricatured and ostracized, these themes become, under the pen of the French-speaking Swiss author, banal and captivating. If naming things wrongly adds unhappiness to the world, talking about them wrongly does at least as much damage.
