One of the lights that reoccurs in Olivierâs book is that of fireflies, an image that Toussaint evokes in Football, referring in turn to Didi-Hubermanâs Survivance des lucioles. Like the interplay of fireflies, Olivierâs book is fascinating, but difficult to summarize; if offers a field where blinking lights (texts, videos, images) signal back and forth, indicating presence, glowing strongly or faintly, and fading away, only to reappear in response to another word, image, thought, reverie.
