A fantastic evocation of life and learning in a dream sequence:
Jerome, who has to sit an exam and suffers from toothache, enters a
nighmarish library in which everything conspires to frustrate his
desperate attempts to revise. Cavazzoni creates an entire world in
this dream, whose absurd perhaps comments on the more muted
absurdity of reality. The library contains geological and natural
realities that plague the organic matter of which the books are
made, demonstrating or at least suggesting the futility of human
learning. In some parts of the building the books have turned into
peat. Cavazzoni admits that his books pushe the novel to its very
limits - "like outpourings of the maniacal," he says. "That's how
they come to me, you must understand."
