Constructed in three interwoven parts, Kathleen is inhabited by a double personality, Katherine Mansfield and Louis Pardieu, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

The central "part" is chequered with black and white photographs by Caroll' Planque, who has already designed the cover of Sayonara Baby and whose work appears in several English magazines. They are beacon markers of a peregrination, lights in the night, questions without answers.

As a novel, Kathleen is more classic and less cutting than Sayonara Baby. It is about the search, the quest for emotions and for lost memories whose inevitable neglect through ageing eventually rhymes as much with lightness as with suffering.

Fabrice Colin's last novel Sayonara baby inspired the Press:

"The fundamental purpose of Fabrice Colin's literature is ontological. This architect of the narrative form is interested in interior spaces, by their very nature tormented - the only ones that are truly thus - rather than external spaces. Each work from Or not to be onwards invades the psychological sphere of the character, creating with it a fitting surrealist universe. Or not to be was haunted by William Shakespeare, Dreamamericana by Stanley Kubrick, Sayonara Baby by a conceptual schizophrenic Samurai, emblematic of America." Mauvais genres site
