Description
To weave is to know oneself as a fiber, and to accept to bind oneself to others for a larger existence. To weave memories. To weave lives. To weave utopia.
Story by the Malagasy author Raharimanana that interweaves legends, founding myths and contemporary realities. Anxious to restore the memory too often betrayed by stories, the author revisits the struggles for liberation, the forms of resistance and utopia. He sets up a cosmogony where everything is woven in a diversity of voices, poetic and political perspectives, bringing together singular forms of writing and transmission of speech.
A stillborn child tells the story of the genesis of the world. It uses myths to tell of totalitarian excesses and the quest for freedom. A contemporary fable that reestablishes the relationship between times, past and present, ancestors and the contemporary world, the Spirit and reality, the story can be read as fibers to weave humanity.
