The elements are well known, the configuration proven: the evil of being a teenager, the high school diploma approaching, a story of little reciprocal love, we stumble, fall, and then ... It is this period that Sascha Hommer decided to tell in Quatre Yeux, an overtly autobiographical story. Let's summarize: Sascha will soon pass his bachelor's degree, meets Julia with whom he will fall madly in love ... and the days go by, a little monotonous, punctuated by the gland and the smoke. While things wither between Julia and Sascha, Sascha experiments, takes LSD, mushrooms, and gradually, as he begins a slow and inexorable fall, he finds himself insidiously accompanied by a new clingy comrade, an eyeless and nameless dog, stronger every day, and who seems, slowly but surely, to be in the same place. make more and more decisions in Sascha's place, until he steals his place, to replace himself... It is with great delicacy and retrospectiveness that Sascha Hommer dismantles the gears of addiction and recounts this period of his life that is not exactly rosy and at the same time full of experiences, discoveries and those strong moments that mark forever. And the author always keeps a lot of modesty in what he tells, refusing to sink into the obscure or take pleasure in the sick, giving something to read that is not a "testimony", but, more simply, a story, a true and moving story.
