La vieille dame et moi

This work is a self-contained narrative that functions independently of the author's other novels and collections.

The narrative serves as a reflective piece where the author explores her own relationship with the act of writing, the nature of language, and the professional identity of a novelist.

The narrator explicitly references Amélie Nothomb's novel Les Catilinaires, drawing a parallel between the two works regarding the presence of an intrusive character.
