Haute-Folie
Description:
I believe that some beings never truly leave us, even when they die. They disappear, yet they remain. They no longer exist, yet they linger, speaking through us, laughing, dreaming our dreams. Similarly, when we think we have forgotten them, some places never leave us. They inhabit us, haunt us, to the point that I am almost convinced they are the ones writing our lives. Haute-Folie is one of these places. Our entire history is contained in its name.” Haute-Folie tells the story of Josef, a man whose family was struck, at the time of his birth, by a series of tragedies that were never told to him. Can one find peace while knowing nothing of one's lineage? Where can one seek wisdom when an inner fire consumes us? What is madness, if not the land of suffering that has nowhere else to go? Written in a dazzling style, this cruel yet luminous novel explores marginality and the curses that afflict those whose history is buried in silence. – Page 4 of the cover
