The kind where water in the sky turns into beautifully symmetrical crystal flakes sculpted by artists unable to stop themselves (in both design and quantity). The kind of place with tiny, powerfully jawed mites assigned to the carpets to eat my dead skin as it flakes off....

Déporté à Buchenwald, Jorge Semprun est libéré par les troupes de Patton, le 11 avril 1945. L'étudiant du lycée Henri-IV, le lauréat du concours général de philosophie, le jeune poète qui connaît déjà tous les intellectuels parisiens découvre à Buchenwald ce qui n'est pas donné à ceux qui n'ont pas connu les camps : vivre sa mort. Un temps, il va croire qu'on peut exorciser la mort par l'écriture. Mais écrire renvoie à la mort. Pour s'arracher à ce cercle vicieux, il sera aidé par une femme, bien sûr, et peut-être par un objet très prosaïque : le parapluie de Bakounine, conservé à Locarno.
