After the so-called events - a terrible pandemic that swept the world - the breeding of domestic birds was banned. But once a year, a special, sacrificial duck is traditionally released from the window of the famous Parisian restaurant Tour d'Argent. The crowd rejoices - the lucky one who manages to catch the fugitive will be rewarded. He will be able to share a festive meal with the President of the Republic himself. The stakes are set, the hunt is on. But this time, things will not go according to plan. For the bird is determined to avoid reprisal. And will help her in this a few marginal people - dreamers, fans of poetry by Arthur Rimbaud and Guillaume Apollinaire. In her post-apocalyptic parable novel, which unfolds in the rhythm of a fairy-tale chase, Eloa Audouin-Ruso masterfully dissects the phenomenon of social cruelty. Facing the barbarism that slumbers in everyone, the writer appeals to our humanity and common sense.
