L’innocence des objets est un récit indépendant extrait d’Encyclopédie du monde visible (Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général), ouvrage atypique et culotté où les images donnent la réplique aux mots (et vice-versa).
Assistez en direct à un cambriolage au domicile d’une collectionneuse d’objets rares. (Fort heureusement, la victime est en vacances.) Un exercice littéraire brillant, surprenant.
