Tout y passe, des lieux aux époques : on voyage dans le temps et à travers les espaces, l'éclectisme est de mise. Le point de départ est le plus souvent lié à une proposition d'écriture découverte dans un atelier. Le temps de rédaction qu'on y accorde est bien souvent trop court pour laisser libre champ à l'inspiration et c'est souvent une douce frustration qui clôture l'activité.Qu'à cela ne tienne ! L'auteur se plaît - et il le clame ! - à reprendre son ébauche et à se laisser porter par tout ce que son esprit présente à sa plume. De curieux transferts - dits salutaires - font parler une poupée abîmée, un vélo déglingué, une dent cariée ou un pigeon sur la place du marché. On découvre une histoire d'amour alors que le Vésuve recouvre Pompéi de ses cendres volcaniques, ou un philosophe chinois en fin de parcours. Ou encore, une dystopie s'étale avec son champ lexical si particulier. Etc.L'éclectisme, oui, voici l'une des caractéristiques de ce recueil de nouvelles et d'histoires courtes à découvrir pour passer un bon moment de lecture.

Archaeologists discovered that the Hohokam were an advanced native tribe who built elaborate irrigation systems along the Verde River, and then disappeared. Early Arizona settlers recognized the tenacity and intelligence of the Hohokam and began to reconstruct their canal system. In 1903, the Salt River Project commenced, and the first lake on the lower Verde River was formed with the completion of the Bartlett Dam in 1939. Seven years later and 12 miles upstream from Bartlett, the Horseshoe Reservoir was created in order to expand copper mining during World War II. The astonishing result of these reservoirs is today's sprawling desert megalopolis of Phoenix, Arizona. Nicknamed "The River of Time," the Verde River is a timeline of Arizona history, and it is essential to human life and livelihood in the area.
