L'Infinie patience des oiseaux

The natural settings feel almost like characters themselves, adding layers to the narrative. I'm curious whether the landscape was based on specific locations or purely imagined.

The contrast between the calm before the storm and the brutality of battle made me reflect on how quickly innocence can be lost. Was this shift intentional to evoke a sense of tragedy?

Malouf’s poetic language creates a unique perspective on these themes. I wonder what personal or historical influences led him to explore this juxtaposition.
