About This Book

Ce récit intime, au ton franc et à l'humour incisif, offre une réflexion sur le rapport au corps, sur la performance de la féminité et sur les relations amoureuses. Composé par fragments comme autant d'îlots identitaires, il accorde une importance aux territoires et aux espaces à conquérir pour prendre la place de la femme précédente, qui n'a pas manqué de laisser sa marque dans la vie de l'homme désiré. La narratrice de ce roman se voit ainsi aspirée par le souvenir de l'autre femme et par le désir de la remplacer. Mais peut-ont réellement supplanter la toute-puissance d'une disparue?

"First novel by author Cynthia Massé, Chérie explores competition between women through competition for a ghostly figure. This intimate story, with a frank tone and incisive humor, offers a reflection on the relationship to the body, the performance of femininity and romantic relationships. Composed by fragments like so many islands of identity, it attaches importance to the territories and spaces to be conquered in order to take the place of the previous woman, who did not fail to leave her mark in the life of the desired man. The narrator of this novel is thus drawn in by the memory of the other woman and by the desire to replace her. But can they really supplant the omnipotence of a missing person?
