"Myriam Ouellette's Work: 'Species'"
In the brutal dance of life we all partake, holding a dagger to our throats. It turns out, the divide between me and the rest, is merely the pronouncement of a diagnosis: do those in good health, who eagerly await their sentence, suspect the treachery lurking beneath their skin, the impending catastrophe conspiring against them in silence?
From the hospital room's periphery, Myriam, a victim of aggressive leukemia, narrates her daily trials - the treatments she endures, and the stem cell transplant that could be her salvation. This grim reality intertwines with fragments of her fractured past, as she attempts to decipher the purpose of her existence. "Souches", an autobiographical novel, delves into narratives that rock the tranquility of the living, thanks to the heart-wrenching and authentic writing of Myriam Ouellette. With a haunting precision and honesty, the narrative resonates with its raw human emotions. Moreover, archive photographs pepper the narrative, intensifying the feeling of reality. It's a must-read.
