Abstract
The beetle is an insect that feeds on the excrement of animals much larger than itself, from which it extracts the appropriate substance to produce the carapace we know and love. In the same way, there is a form of writing that feeds on the waste products of the world : toil, drudgery, submission, material misery and social deserts, a form of writing that manages to metabolize them in order to make them visible and convey them. Bringing them out of the shadows. How do you write about reality ? How do you look at the suffering part of a society ? How do we approach it, and what can entomology teach us about the way we observe ourselves ?
