Synopsis

This is a tale of two torturers. Ferrari's sepulchral chamber piece is set in the mid-1950s during the Algerian war, looking backwards to the second world war and the French defeat in Indochina, and forwards to the collapse in 1958 of the Fourth Republic. The book won several awards on publication in France in 2010, but its modern resonances go far beyond the francophone world.
