摘要：La Marraine du Sel offers, just at its central point, a strange chapter, entitled « Les Bavaroises Nénettes ». This chapter, as so strangely inserted, should be read as a metaphor of the way of reading that the book itself requests: reading in mixing three different temporalities. Therefore, the narrative goes ahead like a sort of « staircase as anamporphoses », from where it is impossible to escape but that is does go anywhere. Lots of intertextual references linked with that provide a way to narrate where all the text becomes space of ghosts, and the city of Richelieu is that which generates such ghosts.
