L’Inaccessible
Charles Gancel

Anyone we desire has zones that we know nothing about: entire regions that are forbidden to us, and that, with luck, always will be. The larger, farther and more threatening those regions are, the greater our desire.

Desire isn’t the same as love. It’s what sets us in motion towards an image, a darkness we want to illuminate, an 'other' we want to annex. Sometimes that other slips from our grasp. Desires burns out, leaving a strange solitude. Sometimes the other’s mystery is revealed to us and fulfills us. Sometimes it disappoints us, turns against us and wounds us in a way that never heals.

Six short stories. Stories that speak of the inaccessible, of what, in the other, will never belong to us, but that sometimes becomes a part of our lives, for better or for worse.

Six short stories about desire. For better or for worse.
