À L’Ombre de Minuit

A solitary, imaginary walk through the loneliness of the modern heart — with humour, melancholy and a glimmer of mysticism.

From the gazing hole in his universe, he wanders aimlessly. On one of those meaningless days, lost in reflections on the meaning of his life, he decides to invent an imaginary friend. Thus is born Milo — the faithful, taciturn, wise and insightful friend.

And while one seeks to pick up the threads of his destiny, the other discovers life — his own. Blending the vast realities of our times with a mysticism born of the need for existential answers, the novel gently mirrors the aspirations of human beings today — and perhaps of all time.
