- Summary:
- Men return to others the brutality of an order from which they suffer. They invent themselves at little expense of convenient enemies. Some fears within them act upon them. Questions as old as the world but of burning topicality, to which Lydie Salvayre gives here literary form. A novel, then, and of a jubilant causticity, which confronts, on the one hand: a loner, a scholar, a step-quite-like, a step-all-in-conformity , a sick man who chose to retire to a place of beauty, and on the other: the inhabitants of a peaceful village that the arrival of this new, this intruder, jostles and deeply disconcerted. Very soon there will arise, between one and the other, misunderstanding and mistrust, then misunderstandings and evil suspicions, then the great unfounded fears and the violence that they secretly secrete. Since every man is a night.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Seuil.
