Corps sur mesure

Rate this book
Ce livre est un récit de voyage, un voyage au pays étrange de la chirurgie esthétique.

Dans ce pays, des hommes et des femmes livrent leur visage et leur corps à de cruelles pratiques sacrificielles, l’officiant porte blouse blanche, l’autel se nome bloc opératoire.

Dans ce pays, on croit au corps dur mesure.

Tout cela Noëlle Châtelet nous le raconte, moins pour juger que pour comprendre, attentive aux émouvants appels de détresse ou d’espoir.

Et les histoires qu’elle a rapportées, parfois tragiques, parfois dérisoires, parfois joyeuses, tracent le portrait d’une société où l’on parle de désir, de quête d’identité et d’harmonie. Une société, la nôtre, où s’emmêlent, inextricablement, l’être et le paraître.
