Marilyn Turkey writes a novel. Ever since her childhood, she has been fascinated by romantic encounters and emotionally obsessed by ideas of couples, complicity, close associations, “love undertakings” and amicable partnerships. While she is writing this novel, she revisits fragments of her life and becomes immersed in the memories of her intimate and explicit encounters.

Marilyn Deboned is a road-movie in three acts: the first act is set in time when she was between six and eight, the second act in young adulthood, and the third act in the present. It’s the story of an exploration and a digression. What do the diverse forms in which love is embodied represent? What is the irrational thing that suddenly brings together two creatures? Marilyn’s exploration knows no limits. She searches in all directions: the world of humans, the world of animals, and the world of plants.

Her systematic search for love, changeable through the course of time, accompanied by a very interesting and original approach to linguistic expression, boldly tackle the linguistic material and blurs the boundaries between fantasy and reality. By inserting the great post-structuralist philosopher Gilles Deleuze's citation at the beginning of the book, Isabelle Wéry compelled the reader to rethink the philosophical perspective of every literary work, including this one.
