Foutre la paix aux morts [French]

By Tesson Millet-M C

A unique reflection on the exaggerated fantasies we entertain about the afterlife, reminiscent of Six Feet Under, where death provokes the folly of the living. A young mortician installs cell phones in coffins. Her company's name: "Living Voice". A Cartesian gerontologist struggles with her father's last wishes, obliging her to accept the services of "Living Voice". But a pretentious charlatan who animates a group of spiritualism aficionados feels threatened by the cell phones buried in the cemetery next door. In the meantime, the na ve, soon to be retired, graveyard watchman, heartbroken at the idea of abandoning his dead friends, finds himself mixed up in a strange conspiracy. Questions remain throughout these extravagant yet plausible situations: in the end, will irrationality win out over reason? Can science forever remain safe inside its dogmas? Are the dead and the living irremediably separated and reduced to silence? Marie-Claude Tesson-Millet, doctor and media director, is cofounder and director of the specialized press group Quotidien Sant . Leave the dead be is her first novel.
