"Colza. Who is this person in the reflection? This androgynous boy dressed like a dandy, who clenches his jaw and frowns, I roll a cigarette, open the window, share with the night the secret. In the beginning, escapades in the rapeseed fields and the quiet discovery of the body; then the body seen, projected, constrained and assigned by others. How to deconstruct heteronormativity to achieve being oneself? A novel of crossing, Colza settles in the interstices: between countryside and city, between construction of a queer identity and internalized misogyny, between phantasmagoria and real loves. The dyke body is developed throughout this journey against patriarchal and sexist injunctions. This novel is the story of trouble : that of Colza (eponymous character), who found the freedom to invent himself and write his own story beyond binary norms."--Back cover.
