Beschreibung:
An Associate Professor of Letters, Patrick Grainville received the Prix Goncourt in 1976, 29 years old, for his fourth novel, Les Flamboyants ( The Flasher). He has written extensively on Africa, where he undertook a cooperative mission. He is professor of French at the Lycee Evariste Galois in Sartrouville. He is also literary critic for Le Figaro.
This extravagant novel marks the English-language debut of one of France's most exciting and controversial writers. At the center is a mysterious excavation site in southwest France, where the skull of a 500,000-year-old man has been discovered. Simon, a journalist assigned to do a story on the cave, is a voluptuary keenly responsive to his surroundings, finding an erotic patina over everything he sees, hears, touches, imagines."
