[Critique] “Vaillant”, Chris Bergeron | The duty

“Sadness is earthly; it has to measure itself against the height of the sky, the depth of the abyss, rubbing against the harshness of the ground”, observes astronaut Andréa Chang shortly after losing the love of her life in the stars of Venus.

Short story set in the dystopian universe of Valid — previous novel by the former director of See Chris Bergeron— Valiant is the story of heavenly love, a lesbian romance that knows no boundaries, no limits, even that of death. “I loved her for who I am, commander of my ship, engineer of my destiny. She was my pilot love, she will remain my only crew, the eternal cargo of my heart. Snub to “the band of phallocratic settlers, masturbators with big rockets”, this monologue story is part of a current of feminist thought: two astronaut lovers who should have “delivered Mars its first orgasm”.
