Leslie Kaplan’s books give a voice and body to characters who experience their existence with the grave intensity of children captivated by their games and constructions. Her works also translate the turbulent history of a singular and embodied voice. In direct confrontation with the subject matter, the latter manages, progressively, to rely on it, reflect on it, project itself onto it, and break free from it. The voice actualises an essential mode of address which creates and resuscitates others without ever exhausting its enigma.
