A novel that explores multiple avenues, with the infectious joy of constantly inventing new stories.
If the Ami universel (Universal friend) is neither a cult nor a political group, as its promoters claim, what is it?
In a society where people feel surrounded by madmen and are losing their own sanity, the Ami universel offers support to disoriented individuals. By entering into their private lives, the Ami universel brings to light the evil that may threaten the citizens of any advanced society. After the end of ideals and beliefs, isn’t it reality itself that ends up looking like a hoax?
Like a distant echo of Kafka’s The Castle, at the end of this comical and disturbing novel, one question remains: what is the Ami universel playing at?
