This paper examines the particular relationship set up by cyberpornography between Nelly, the narrator of Nelly Arcan's novel Folle (2004) and her lover. The latter, obsessed with the reflection of himself he sees through pornographic representations of women on the web, starts using Nelly as a vector towards these women (and concomitantly his self-image). This paper aims to discuss how at first Nelly's lover negates her body and how her subjectivity comes to suffer the same treatment, so that in the end, there is only the masculine subject left. As Narcissus, he remains alone in front of his screen, admiring women admiring him. Nonetheless, the narrator's voice, turned as Echo into a ghost, keeps being heard.
