From the Inside Flap:
It is normal for adults to tell stories to children - not the other way around. What sort of stories would a child tell an adult ? Or is it a case of adults asking children to tell them stories they would like to hear ? Stories of innocence and experiences - the pleasant first shocks of curiosity and comprehension. Drowning by Numbers can often be seen to be like a tale told to adults by children... adults who are no more than the children's creations anyway.
Compte et conte : Drowning by Numbers est l'histoire de trois femmes noyant successivement leur mari et dont la narration se structure numériquement autour du nombre 100. Un jeu de piste où la narration elle-même est le support d'un jeu sur l'amour et la mort, où les femmes gagnent et les enfants sont les victimes. Les règles du jeu se tissent dans les rapports de l'homme avec la mort et le temps.
