One's will can be deployed at others' expense, a fundamental ambivalence that Calaferte . . . often brought to light. Because of this excruciating honesty, he produced some of the most troubling writings of recent times. --Times Literary Supplement In compact and visceral detail, Calaferte succeeds in portraying this terrifying and shameful period in French history, when nearly everyone--especially seemingly innocent villagers--is guilty of crimes against humanity. --Publishers Weekly Bracingly unsentimental, [it] is a remarkable song of innocence sung in perfect pitch. --St. Petersburg Times
