| Les Combustibles |
Author name: Amelie Nothamb
Original language: French
This novel in dialogue depicts a city in ruins, as an unnamed army
patrols the streets. A professor, his graduate student and the
student's girlfriend burn books to keep warm, and in the process put
education, ideas, power, and sex into the fiery furnace of Notamb's
ironic and restrained prose.
