In life, not every beating one takes should be permitted. But when you’re twenty, and your soul is already bruised, all that’s left to do is write a novel…

Having just officially become an adult, she leaves the dismal countryside of France’s northeast with its capital on her horizon. As a kid, she promised herself to leave, “feel fully,” and “make love that’s to die for.” In Paris, she befriends an elderly neighbor in order to overcome her loneliness... Having just officially become an adult, she leaves the dismal countryside of France’s northeast with its capital on her horizon. As a kid, she promised herself to leave, “feel fully,” and “make love that’s to die for.” In Paris, she befriends an elderly neighbor in order to overcome her loneliness and disillusionment, alternating lessons in boxing and philosophy. That is, until her sudden meeting with a bad-tempered boy. They share the same taste in music and books. She falls head over heels for him, but it’s a love that brings harm as well. When she pours herself into writing, the young man reveals his obsessive jealousy and is unsupportive of her talent and the effect it has on other men. Their relationship turns into a nightmare, with beatings, with rape…
Subject Unknown describes the progression of a love story that turns bad, in a brutal, contemporary style. Between footwork and hand-eye coordination, the heroine of this novel boxes, runs, falls, gets back up, and dances to the syncopated rhythm of concise and onomatopoetic prose. The more violent the novel gets, the more the reader is taken with the pulse that quickens page after page. A novel written in a single breath, with the urgency to win a fight, the urgency to live.
