Étienne's Alphabet
Étienne Morneau is a man of few friends and even fewer words. A recluse, the only way he can make sense of the world is to compile lists and stick to a routine. Yet in spite of Étienne’s unique perspective, or perhaps because of it, he is secretly a creative genius. His art is infused with a strange beauty, and his journals — organized in the form of a dictionary — reveal an innocent soul yearning to take part in life and all its small glories.
