The French Nobel Prize-winner's second novel, originally published as La Déluge in 1966. "It is a meditation on death, anguish, and the disintegration of human possibility, a fantasy in the mind of Francois Besson, the disengaged youthful hero of the novel, as he descends deeper in the everyday world where the demarcations between reality and hallucination slowly dissolve through his experiences (love, crime, vagabondage)" (Kirkus Reviews, January 25, 1967). 86025.
