| La Décomposition |
Author name: Anne Garréta
Publication year: 1999
Original language: French
Clever and darkly comic, La Décomposition is a post-modern
murder mystery told by an anonymous narrator whose ambition is to become a
serial killer. Failing in his chosen avocation, he decides there can be no
personal connection between the killer and his victims. The choice of his
victims will be determined, instead, by a set of impersonal but carefully
determined criteria. His victims? The characters in Proust's In Search of Lost
Time. Why? Because "life is too short and Proust is too long." (Sample
available)
