- 2010, Serge Brussolo, chapter 4, in Ceux d'en bas, Fleuve Noir, page 30:
- L’ambiance était douillette, un peu étouffante. Trop de bibelots indiens, attrape-rêves, sacs-médecine et tambours de pluie qui auraient été davantage à leur place dans un musée.
- The atmosphere was cosy, slightly stifling. There were too many Indian ornaments, dreamcatchers, medicine bags and rain drums which would have been more at home in a museum.
