Synopsis

Dans ce roman-mosaïque composé de treize récits et treize épitaphes qui se reflètent et s'illuminent, Vollmann explore avec minutie et humanité les différents mécanismes de la perte. Qu'il s'agisse d'une ville que l'on quitte, d'amis que l'on perd de vue, d'une femme qui s'éloigne ou de la vie qui s'en va, les formes de désarroi et les solutions de survie varient.

About the Author, William T. Vollmann

Known as a bit of a "dark horse" of contemporary literature, William T. Vollman has garnered acclaim from readers and critics alike for the boldness and raw originality of his works, which often combine fictional and journalistic techniques. "Whether Dostoyevskifying the detective novel or offering boundless books-of-Genesis, Vollmann has had an ability to conjure tomes in a range of genres that is increasingly Faustian," observes The Village Voice.
