Ion

Olivier Magis

My name is Ion.

Who could have imagined the fate that awaited me: mybirth under a dictatorship, the loss of my eyesight through an accident, mysudden escape from my homeland to seek a future that was a little too idyllic?

One thing is certain:fate is like all the criminals that I listen to today for the Belgian federalpolice. With a little willpower, there’s always a way to dodge its tricks. Theperson who taught me that is a close and loyal childhood friend. That friend isliterature. Without her, I probably wouldn’t be what I am now, here, among you.
