L'orphéon: Le corax
2012 • 151 pages

Louis Corax, a postman who has become a millionaire by winning the lottery, lives alone on the fifth floor of the Choral Society, of which he is the owner. His life flows smoothly apart from the world in its comfort and indifference. But then he finds his daily rocking animal origami has left his home by an invisible hand. This is the first in a series of strange events that will mark forever the existence of this rich misanthrope. The Choral Society is an office building with five floors which are respectively populated by characters of five talented authors. The reader is invited to visit the building a novel at a time, at his or her discretion, in order or in random order.
