3. Caf辿 Mortels "I am never so in tune with
the truth as during one of
these soir辿es. And I have
the impression that the
assembled company, for a
moment, and thanks to
death, is born into
authenticity," he writes in
his new book, Caf辿s
Mortels: Sortir la Mort du
Silence, or "bringing death
out of silence".

Blog presents artifacts Besides the invites as artifacts,
of invites no structured collecting of
stories or document of cafes
