The Obscene Madame D

More about the book

The narrative follows Hillé, a sixty-year-old woman retreating from conventional life to a space under the stairs, where she grapples with the haunting presence of her late lover, Ehud. In a stream-of-consciousness style reminiscent of Joyce and Lispector, she explores profound themes of spiritual fulfillment, existence, and the body-soul connection. As she delves into metaphysical inquiries, her perspective challenges societal norms, revealing a blend of humor and depth in her quest for meaning in the face of death and the absurdity of life.
