Ervé lives on the street. And this inhabits it. He drags with him the burden of a bad childhood and between anger, sadness and melancholy, he writes, among others on his twitter account @croisepattes. “Carnassial Writings” is his first publication, it is a collection of texts echoing his dented life, published by Maurice Nadeau. (Replay)
“For a long time, I tease the street. Still. Guided by my faults, my wounds, I walk along bituminous sidewalks or dusty paths. Everywhere the same bitumen. Everywhere the same acrid dust. Oh ! How I would like to find a hole of greenery where a river sings, but I am not that sleeper. However, I have two pains in my back that make me say that I was no match for you and that you defeated me with your words. I lost. Yes. I lost myself. »
Through these fragments of a shattered life, of this writing that is at once vibrant, poetic and carnivorous, unfolds the darkness and the moments of grace of a celestial among the tramps of Paris. (Presentation of Editions Maurice Nadeau)
