… renews my faith in the poetics of bibliomancy … Souffrant, terse as Duras, shows us how to feel at home.
Souffrant’s roving, probing mind, … and what it alights on, is sui generis.
Entanglements will change how you think about reading, texts and bodily encounters with the world.
Love, memory, meaning, nation, narrative — Souffrant … reminds us of how we are bound to the world and one another.
… vibrating incantations … with indulgent thoughtfulness and disarming intimacy.
