Ludwig has never been a soldier. A childhood injury left him lame in one leg, which has allowed him to largely sit out the war on the sidelines, as a translator.

What is this "love" everyone talks about? Viola doesn't yet know. But it is a question she is asking herself more and more, because at her age there are some kinds of problems you feel even in the air that you breathe: your self-image and the way you think others see you, the relationship between you and your body and the other gender, couple issues, the freedom to follow your aspirations, and the need to fit in socially accepted categories. On vacation with her parents, during the idle hours of the afternoon while everyone is sleeping, Viola's encounters and experiences will help her grow as a person and get answers to the hard questions that everyone has to face sooner or later, and she will reshape her identity, in a summer she'll never forget.

Découvrez un nouveau numéro en version numérique de la revue littéraire belge Marginales Toute honte bue, Marginales aura donc sacrifié au Mondial. Et pourquoi la honte ? Parce qu’il est de bon ton, dans les milieux intellectuels, de mépriser le foot. Ce n’est qu’une idée reçue, que quelques grandes consciences de ce siècle, de Montherlant à Camus et de Handke à Montalbán, suffiraient à contester.
