C'est l'histoire d'une fille qui n'est pas d'accord avec l'ordre social. De l'enfance à l'écriture, en passant par un bar mystérieux, une maison abandonnée, un immeuble rempli de sectes, ou le sommet d'une montagne, la narratrice nous entraîne dans une odyssée parsemée de miroirs homériques, de chants d'aèdes qui nous montrent le livre en train de se faire. Les Forces reprend et détourne les motifs du roman d'apprentissage. Alternant le prosaïque et le théorique en un éclair, le livre se déploie dans une narration allant du tragique au comique.

Nel 1983 Andrev ha sette anni e non ha mai conosciuto il padre biologico. A parte qualche amico e l'affetto materno, il mondo di Andrev è quello marginale di una madre che vive tra i resti dell'anticonformismo degli anni Settanta. E una relazione violenta dopo l'altra. Per Andrev, un «padre» dopo l'altro.
