All alone in the world: three life stories of loss and displacement
HADRIEN LAROCHE’S new novel is a triptych of stories connected by contemplations of orphanhood, and by a shared narrator, the philosophical and apparently free-loading voyeur, Hadrien.
Hadrien, an ‘orphan’ in the boundless sense of the word, takes shelter with three random people and willingly perches on the safe periphery of their lives.
