This book helps us rethink our relationship with time and death.

not as a frightening end, but as a condition of all life.

Book presentation

What if growing old were legal? What if dying became natural again?


In a world obsessed with youth, performance, and immortality, Livie lives through the minutes of her existence, confronted by the weariness of life and the hypocrisy of a society that hides death behind creams and slogans. From intimate fragility to collective absurdities, from societal analysis to sensual utopias, this book explores fear, escape, but also the celebration of finitude.

 

Five temporalities, five ways of looking at life and death:

  • Minutes: the body and emotions.

  • Hours: a satire of a world that refuses to die.

  • Days: an analysis of a system that exploits the fear of the end.

  • Month: the imaginary of a death reintegrated and celebrated.

  • Years: a manifesto to rehabilitate life through finitude.

 

A book that is at once incisive, funny, tender, and radical.

which reminds us that life only has meaning if we accept death.

This book is not linear!

It blends novel, poetry, satire, and essay.

Each section has its own rhythm: to feel, laugh, reflect, dream and reveal.
