This extravagant novel marks the English-language debut of one of France's most exciting and controversial writers. At the center is a mysterious excavation site in southwest France, where the skull of a 500,000-year-old man has been discovered. Simon, a journalist assigned to do a story on the cave, is a voluptuary keenly responsive to his surroundings, finding an erotic patina over everything he sees, hears, touches, imagines."
"DiBernardi's superb translation of this 1984 novel marks the English-language debut of a well-regarded and somewhat controversial French author. This is a work that will captivate readers willing to be seduced by extremes of language and image that reflect artistically the voluptuousness of thought and action of the characters created so brilliantly by the author." -- Anthony Caprio, Oglethorpe Univ., Atlanta -- Anthony Caprio, Oglethorpe Univ., Atlanta
