Contenant la véritable composition de la baguette. 2006 Prix Goncourt - Jonathan Littell, Les Bienveillantes. Which is plausible, as is the violence, and the way it piles up and springs again just when you thought you'd reached a more lyrical stretch (the titles of Bach/French suites to each section - Toccata, Allemandes I & II, Sarabande, Menuet (en Rondeaux, Air), Gigue - are more ironic than apt). It won't come out in English until next year at the earliest -- althought 2008 is your best bet. Which is why when you've got a 900-plus page novel about the mindset of a Nazi officer--never mind one that's been praised by the French literary establishment and panned by many members of America's--then you know you've got a book worth reading. Much better than the french book I checked out of. There's been so much buzz about this novel. Amazon.com: Les Bienveillantes (French Edition) (9780320075742. Jonathan Littell's The Kindly Ones, winner of the Prix Goncourt in France where it was first published as Les Bienveillantes, is the most disturbing book I've ever read. First published in France in 2006 as Les Bienveillantes, this epic catalog of Nazi Germany's atrocities was lauded with acclaim and went on to win the country's top literary awards.
