Following «Histoires de bouches», Noëlle Châtelet continues her narrative exploration of the body with five stories devoted to smell, touch, sight, taste and hearing. Between the burlesque, the tragic and the humorous, the author turns the senses into a language of their own and reflects on perception and physical experience.
