Au pays des lève-tôt #[nn]

Paula Bulling's Au pays des lève-tôt, published by L'Agrume in 2014, offers an intimate, quietly observed portrait of collective life rendered in muted purples and warm flesh tones. The cover draws us into a crowded room where a shaved-headed figure sits with their back to us, surrounded by a group of men — some seated at a table, others resting — in what feels like a dormitory or waiting space. It's a humanizing, understated work that invites readers to sit with its subjects and pay genuine attention.
