Fiction. Translated from the French by Leon Stephen. THE OBSTINATE SNAIL is the first translation into English of Boudjedra's diabolical satire of the bureaucratic mind, L'escargot entêté. Here are the notes of a civil servant in North Africa dedicated to ridding his fair city of a thriving population of rats, yet menaced by a solitary snail. Obsession, sexual repression and megalomania drive him on. Translator Leon Stephens provides a brief survey of Boudjedra's life and work at the end of the volume. No library descriptions found. |
