Today I left home and by Camille Kaiser is a compilation of episodes that all begin with the same sentence and unfold in narratives that describe everyday incidents encountered by the protagonist after she leaves the safe space of her domestic interior. Navigating urban spheres, wandering, absurdity, the anecdotal, absence of adventure and a vain quest for exoticism are recurring events that confront perceptions of everyday life. The markers of place and time are absent, establishing the narrator as the only point of reference.
