La Fièvre is a collection of short stories drawn from “a familiar experience”: Le Clézio, still gripped by the anguish of urban life following Le Procès-verbal, gives full vent to it here. Fever, pain, toothache, fatigue and sleep run throughout the stories, denouncing the loss of control over the senses within modern society.
The author’s second published book.
Sunning and tiny nicks to the wrappers.
