Description

(Winner of France's Renaudot Prize) Originally published in France in 1963 as Le Procès-Verbal, Nobel Prize winner J.M.G. Le Clézio's debut novel was a literary sensation. What is The Interrogation? A myth, perhaps, but an unconventional one. A very solitary young man, Adam Pollo, perhaps the first man, perhaps the last, has a remarkable interior adventure. He concentrates and he discovers ways of being, ways of seeing. He enters into animals, into a tree; he has no business, no distractions; he is at the complete disposal of all life, except the society of his own species. Le Clézio has since written more than 40 books, and earned the Nobel Prize in 2008. "Le Clézio's verbal felicity is amazing.... We come away awed by his skill in manipulating language and dazzled by his ability to create with words vividly impressionistic paintings."—NYTBR
