Le vrai monde

The novel paints a raw, unsettling picture of social isolation and crime. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experience or societal observations.

The slow build and bleak atmosphere made me wonder if that was an intentional choice to mirror the characters' internal states or just a narrative style.

Switching between characters added depth but also shifted the suspense. I'm interested in whether this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
