Title: Birth of Ghosts - Marie Darrieussecq - book
Summary :
It begins as a simple, banal, and sad story. A man disappears. His wife waits for him; she cannot accept his disappearance; she searches for him. Then the world will unravel, or, more precisely, open up. It opens up to its mystery, to its inconceivable levels, to its enigmas, the infinitely large, the infinitely small, the infinitely moving, powerfully punctuated by waiting. All the landmarks shift, no perspective is certain, stars and atoms exchange their weight, their value. Little by little, this disappearance disintegrates everything that constitutes generally accepted reality; it projects us into another dimension of feelings and sensations. Ghosts can appear because, like the narrator, we are ready.
