Summary
Alexandre Jardin: Colored
A world without adults is possible. Thousands of kilometers away from France, lives a nation that has never been marked on any map: the Colored. Loose, sincere, they live only for the present moment, in a world without adults, where childhood and play have become a separate culture.
In 2003, ethnologist Hippolyte Le Plé meets Daphne, a young, charming representative of the colored people in Paris. Unpredictable, carried by emotions and unusual desires, this "adult girl" immediately interested him. But the Coloreds are not easy birds to tame. Because of this, Hipolit embarks on an uncertain quest that will take him far from home.
With Coloreds, who are gentle and mischievous, the author of Zubijal i Zebra offers us his strangest and most unusual novel. A true invitation to climb to the lost heights of childhood.
