'The Wall', the lead story in this collection, introduces three
political prisoners on the night prior to their execution. Through
the gaze of an impartial doctor seemingly there for the men's
solace their mental descent is charted in exquisite, often
harrowing detail. And as the morning draws inexorably closer, the
men cross the psychological wall between life and death, long
before the first shot rings out. This brilliant snapshot of life in
anguish is the perfect introduction to a collection of stories
where the neurosis of the modern world is mirrored in the lives of
the people that inhabit it . This is an unexpurgated edition
translated from the French by Lloyd Alexander.
