CONFUCIUS

Depicting the hopeless, emotional polarity of a young couple, this novel follows their doomed marriage spent in a remote, tropical hell. She—described only as "the girl"—is young, sophisticated and sensitive. He, "Mr. Dog-Head," is an unreconstructed thug and heavy drinker who rapes his wife, otherwise passing his time bludgeoning rats with a tennis racket. Together with a visiting stranger, "Suede Boots"—who urges the woman to escape until he is banished by her husband—these characters live through the same situations twice. Their identities are equally real—or unreal—in each case. With slight variation in the background and the novel's atmosphere, neither the outcome nor the characters themselves are quite the same the second time. The constant question of the jungle "brain-lever" bird remains unanswered: who are you?

Collectively the works of Samuel Beckett, winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize for Literature, reveal a remarkable continuity of theme. Together his writings present a particular view of life and each novel constitutes part of a larger whole.

These linked novels have been rated among the finest of Colette's work. Duo is the story of Alice and Michel, whose marriage is foundering due to Alice's infidelity. In Le Toutounier, Alice has moved to Paris after Michel's death. There she and her two sisters live in a shabby apartment; fiercely independent, reticent, and hard-working, they speak a private language and seek comfort in the indestructible sofa (toutounier) of their childhood.
