The Flanders Road
During the German advance through Belgium into France in 1940, Captain de Reixach is shot dead by a sniper. Three witnesses, involved with him during his lifetime in different capacities a distant relative, an orderly and a jockey who had an affair with his wife remember him and help the reader piece together the realities behind the man and his death. A groundbreaking work, for which Claude Simon devised a prose technique mimicking the minds fluid thought processes, The Flanders Road is not only a masterpiece of stylistic innovation, but also a haunting portrayal based on a real-life incident of the chaos and savagery of war.
