Herve, the friend with AIDS; his lover, Herve, also afflicted;
Herve the hairdresser; Herve next door who has defenestrated
himself: in "A Cannibal and Melancholy Mourning" the narrator
confronts the deaths of so many friends, all named Herve. But the
dead cannot be buried so easily; they live on, spectres haunting
her, as the cumulative effect of all her Herves becomes a
multifaced Death that simultaneously angers, saddens, cheers and
confuses her. In this unfolding series of encounters between the
living and the dead, Mavrikakis draws on Deleuze, Freud, Foucault
and novelist Herve Guibert to make of herself and of this visceral,
compelling novel a kind of living mausoleu where those unable to
speak may still be heard.
