L'Espoir est une chose ridicule

The portrayal of identity and belonging felt so visceral. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or purely imagined this internal struggle.

The slow, reflective moments made me think about how we process trauma and loss. Was this pacing intentional to mirror the character's emotional state?

The urban landscape felt like a character itself, shaping the narrative's mood. I’m curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it from imagination.
