On a train from Paris to Rome on his way to surprise his lover, the
businessman Leon Delmont begins to mull over his past and question
the decisions he has made about his future. These musings -
together with his impressions of the unfolding scenery, conjectures
about his fellow passengers and some recurring leitmotifs - form
the basis of a riveting narrative that provides a psychological
case study of an everyman and subtly illustrates the onset of the
protagonist's doubts and fears. Published in 1957 and awarded the
prestigious Prix Renaudot, Michel Butor's groundbreaking third
novel remains the most popular and widely read work of the nouveau
roman genre. Famously written in the second person in order to
immerse the reader more fully into the psyche of the main
character, Changing Track pulls off the rare feat of being at once
experimental and accessible, disquieting and engrossing.
