“When, in the middle of the night, this world erupts after the great fires that shaped it, it is covered with a thick layer of dirt. In this desolate, troubled, and downcast landscape, ogresses and giantesses widen their eyes for the first time upon a pitch-dark night. They stretch their bodies, they linger, they dance as their bodies and flesh mark the landscape. The imprints of their big hands, their very big mouths, their very very big buttocks, and their very very very big feet create high mountains and deep lakes. Then, where the sun peaks, before the moon rises, a big dirty house appears. Its shape is quite strange because it looks like a very very very very large bottle of red wine. A bottle big enough to house several people. On heavy evenings, everyone goes out together to breathe fire, to ride garbage trucks, and mostly, to rub against the corners of the highest towers in the city.”
