Jacek Dukaj : Mes Utopiales de B à V

Comme chaque année, vers Samain, se sont tenues les Utopiales à Nantes. 153000 visiteurs cette année, et moi et moi et moi. Ne faisons pas durer le suspense, c'était vraiment bien !!! Genre grave bien !!!! Aux Utopiales il y a surtout des auteurs qu'on va retrouver jour après jour ci-dessous (ou dessus, ça dépend dans quel sens vous lisez) , sur plusieurs posts successifs (survivance d'un temps où on économisait la bande passante – « dis ton âge sans dire ton âge ») . Tous les présents aux Utos n'y sont pas, c'est au fil des rencontres que les photos sont faites, la vie n'est pas juste. AND NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR YOUR PLEASURE AND EDIFICATION, THE ONE AND ONLY JACEK DUKAJ
