Plie la rivière

by Audrée Wilhelmy

Description

With an ever powerful writing, carried away by the animal strength that takes her back to the raw world of Oss – where the uniqueness of her literary universe was revealed – Audrée Wilhelmy delivers a tale of full maturity whose erotic spell will bewitch readers. Noé, known as the Little One, leads this amoral story of male trinity – of father, son and bear – through her body, first as a child and then as a woman.

A fetish character in Audrée Wilhelmy’s work, Noé, the untamable, the implacable, the insubordinate, meets young Emessie, a travelling candy salesman who criss-crosses the continent in his horse-drawn cart every year. This time, however, losing his virginity to Grumme – the obese shopkeeper – and magnetised by Noé, he’ll serenely overcome the fear of the secret beast within him: perhaps this totemic bear that the little girl will have first tamed by the animistic impulses that make her an initiatory character through whom others are fulfilled.

This text, as delicate as amber, once again gives the measure of an immense writer.
