Original
Résumé In unnerving cold blood, Martha, a brilliant scientist, but a broken woman, performs the autopsy of a dead marriage. Extrait « MARTHA : My love for Pierre | has been a murder | my own | I look at his eyes | mentally remove his blue irises | detach them to examine his thinking | to see his brain at work | I worm my way into his thoughts | I dream of thinking what he is thinking | at the very moment he is thinking it | and I only arrive at the void » Revue de presse "A crucial creation which puts the power of lucidity in the
hands of the accused." Pierre Leroux, Journal de Montréal, September 23, 1992 |
