Power Of Flies by Lydie Salvayre, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Power of Flies begins in a courtroom, where a man is undergoing an interrogation. He has committed a crime, and he must now explain himself. But instead of letting the judge, lawyer, and psychiatrist question him, he asks himself all the questions-and answers them. While ranting on to the court about various topics-his family, the museum where he works as a tour guide, and even the French philosopher and mathematician, Blaise Pascal-the narrator of The Power of Flies reveals himself to be both calculating and unstable. In this latest novel from acclaimed French writer Lydie Salvayre, it is up to the reader to sort through his philosophical diatribe to discover why this man turned killer. | Power Of Flies by Lydie Salvayre, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
