A Leopard‑Skin Hat

Anne Serre’s evocative novella wraps surreal imagery and domestic intimacy into a quietly unsettling tale. The leopard‑skin hat becomes a motif of desire and dislocation, threading through characters and memories like a soft, dangerous wildness. Serre’s prose is spare yet richly textured—every word feels carefully chosen. The narrative drifts between interior monologue and dream logic, exploring memory’s slipperiness. Despite its brevity, the story leaves a lingering atmosphere: charming, uncanny, and open‑ended.
