Publication: for Easter.


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 with the weariness of living 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.

 


Warning: This book is not linear!

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

The chapters can be read in any order.

Depending on the mood of the day and the desire of the moment.
