Le protagoniste est en proie Ă un rĂȘve fiĂ©vreux au beau milieu de l'hiver, son univers alternant fiction et rĂ©alitĂ©, mĂȘlĂ©es, entrelacĂ©es, en un rĂ©cit aussi singulier que disjoint. Il s'agit de la premiĂšre et de la plus manifeste incursion de Benning dans des rĂ©gions fictionnelles.
The protagonist is in the throes of a mid-winter fever dream, its scenes alternating between fiction and reality, conflating and intertwining the two to shape a singular, albeit fractured narrative. It constitutes the first and most overt of Benningâs engagements with fictional premises.
