A la découverte du Monde miroir, invisible, presque incompréhensible, et pourtant si proche. Nul ne peut en revenir indemne.

5 stars

Certains livres changent la vie, d'autres changent notre vision du monde. D'autres encore font irruption dans le réel. Celui-ci combine ces deux dernières catégories. Le hasard, ou la destinée, a voulu que j'entame le Voyage dans le Monde miroir le premier février de cette année 2025, voyage littéraire uniquement, pour ma part. Dix jours seulement plus tard, nos plus de 300 millions d'amis américains ont entamé de leur côté leur voyage politique de l'autre côté du miroir.

Review of 'Doppelganger' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A riveting analysis of our moment in history, using the parallel paths of Naomis Klein and Wolf as a device to examine the multiple realities we've constructed for ourselves.
