From Antoine Volodine comes a deeply disturbing and darkly
hilarious novel whose full meaning, its author asserts, will be
found not in the book's pages but in the dreams people will have
after reading it. In "Minor Angels" Volodine depicts a
postcataclysmic world in which the forces of capitalism have begun
to reestablish themselves. Sharply opposed to such a trend, a group
of crones confined to a nursing home--all of them apparently
immortal--resolves to create an avenging grandson fashioned of lint
and rags. Though conjured to crush the rebirth of capitalism, the
grandson is instead seduced by its charms--only to fall back into
the hands of his creators, where he manages to forestall his
punishment by reciting one "narract" a day. It is these narracts,
or prose poems, that compose the text of "Minor Angels."
