Solange, Serge, or Zazie are characters from a novel. When he once asked Zazie de Paris, a comet of Parisian and Berlin nights, a flamboyant, multifaceted transsexual artist who had crossed paths with Maurice Béjart, Werner Schroeter, Isabelle Huppert, and Quentin Tarantino on her Walk of Fame, before becoming the recurrent and reassuring presence of the Germanic, family-friendly Sunday night Tatort, if she would agree to a novel retracing her life, she replied to the young author in front of her: "Yes, but with a form like Ingrid Caven." Digressions, collage, and montage will guide the man who is determined to write the tale of a bigger-than-life character who has entrusted him with the reins of his life story. Moving from one life to another, from a flashback to a flashforward, from Serge to this self-creation merging Zsa Zsa Gabor, Zizi Jeanmaire and Raymond Queneau's little heroine, from Zazie to Solange, the heroine's memories drift from one city to another, from Jerusalem, at the end of the 1940s, to red Montreuil, from the opium dens of Tokyo to the Schiller Theater in Berlin which propels her to become Peter Zadek's muse, by way of the Parisian transvestite cabarets of the 1960s or the first discos of Mykonos where she receives Princess Soraya. How to tell the story of a life in a novel, an existence so much more fictional than reality? By constructing it, with the approval of the one who lives it, in the blanks of the story, in the off-screen, in the refusals and absences of memory, by trusting in the powers of imagination and literature to reach as close as possible, as accurately as possible, a truth.
