On January 21, 2017 at 11:04 a.m., Jordan’s sick mother is still not awake. He opens his bedroom door to check on her. His gaze adjusts to the shape of the bed. Is she still alive? Liminal holds in that one second. All life then comes back in a puff of memories, an immense dive into one mystery: being a body. What is a body? What are its limits? From androids to sex clubs, from the mystical ecstasy of Saint Teresa of Avila to the castration of a queer performer, at the crossroads of autofiction, the age-old saga and pop philosophy, the story is organized into a prodigious personal odyssey populated by magnificent artists, scientists and outcasts.

The author
