"What is nutritive for a traveling body? Abode of clay bodies returns to the origin by various paths in search of the primary ties that root, that root and suffocate, that root and sustain. It shows the fragility of bodies: their propensity to dismember, to stop being and to be transported, be it for renewal or to look at the movement of other foreign bodies in foreign cities for a long time. Between a reflexive voice in the singular and in the plural, this book talks about accumulated absences as a reflection of exile and the violence that exiles people from all their territories, including their bodies (the girl's, the mother's, and the boy's). of previous generations), whose tear is firmly invoked. The noble matter of clay, that of the first days, that of the divine breath, it is also the matter that is transfigured and reflects the ability to inhabit and cohabit. Made of mud are the ruins of the ancient cities that are barely recognizable, and made of mud is the vibrant matter, impregnated with desire, that dwells and allows itself to dwell.
