I felt the need to say certain things, but, above all, I have the need to take words into account to be able to believe that it is still poáible to name things. This is the main illusion behind the work, that language still serves for something and that everything can be improved. Regarding the work, for all of those who have asked me to identify it, I have to admit that it is a dictionary, but it isn´t a dictionary, it contains short texts but it isn´t a book of stories, it is made up of short eáays and aphorisms and that it is based on the notes and quotes of my neighbors from all over the world. Let´s say that we are dealing with a long novel. The game is the following ; you have to break the shell in order to gain its´ content, to see if it contains a lie or the truth, a half lie or a half truth. There are many meanings that only go halfway, some mean too much and others stay there hanging, just like they do in real life. Decidedly, this book isn´t a book of reflections but of pre-reflections. The pre-reflections are an excuse for the reader to make his own reflection.
