Product Information
Forced into a brutal concentration camp during a great war, Brodeck returns to his village at the war's end and takes up his old job of writing reports for a governmental bureau. One day a stranger comes to live in the village. His odd manner and habits arouse suspicions: His speech is formal, he takes long, solitary walks, and although he is unfailingly friendly and polite, he reveals nothing about himself. When the stranger produces drawings of the village and its inhabitants that are both unflattering and insightful, the villagers murder him. The authorities who witnessed the killing tell Brodeck to write a report that is essentially a whitewash of the incident. As Brodeck writes the official account, he sets down his version of the truth in a separate, parallel narrative. In measured, evocative prose, he weaves into the story of the stranger his own painful history and the dark secrets the villagers have fiercely kept hidden. Set in an unnamed time and place, Brodeck blends the familiar and unfamiliar, myth and history into a work of extraordinary power and resonance. Readers of J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace , Bernhard Schlink's The Reade,r and Kafka will be captivated by Brodeck .

Reviews
"This is a remarkable novel, all the more so because this account of man's inhumanity to man, of coarse and brutal stupidity, of fear and surrender to evil, is nevertheless not without hope. Brodeck survives because, despite all he has experienced, he remains capable of love. It is also beautifully written, and well translated… I mentioned Kafka earlier, and the novel is as compelling as anything he wrote. In France it won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens. The reviewer inLe Mondecalled it, simply, magnificent. And so it is." -The Scotsman, *starred review* "Coming across as the love child of Bela Tarr's filmWerckmeister Harmóniákand Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez's 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,' this disconcerting and darkly atmospheric novel, set in an unnamed European town secluded high in the mountains, deals with the effects of collective guilt by examining the dark secrets of its residents as they recall the hardships of war and occupation. Following the end of an unspecified war that sounds very much like WWII, protagonist Brodeck, who survived the camps by literally becoming a guard's pet (Brodeck the Dog), is reunited with his wife and daughter. After the murder of a mystical drifter, Brodeck is made to write a narrative of the events for the authorities absolving the village's inhabitants of any blame. Though there are no innocents, by the end some characters make tentative footsteps toward reclaiming their humanity. Claudel's style is very visual and evocative (he also wrote and directed the filmI've Loved You So Long), and this novel, like the brothers Grimm fables, is full of terror, horror, and beauty and wonder." -Publishers Weekly "Deeply wise and classically beautiful….Brodeckwon the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens in the original French and John Cullen's English translation is as clear as a mountain stream. It is a modern masterpiece." -The Daily Telegraph "This is a remarkable novel, all the more so because this account of man's inhumanity to man, of coarse and brutal stupidity, of fear and surrender to evil, is nevertheless not without hope. Brodeck survives because, despite all he has experienced, he remains capable of love. It is also beautifully written, and well translated… I mentioned Kafka earlier, and the novel is as compelling as anything he wrote. In France it won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens. The reviewer inLe Mondecalled it, simply, magnificent. And so it is." -The Scotsman "[O]riginal, brilliant and disturbing… It is a relentless, uncomfortable book that achieves a beauty of its own through Claudel's deft writing and passionate commitment to truth. Claudel is a novelist of ideas, in the French tradition. He deals skillfully in archetypes and abstractions. His characters and their village are sparsely sketched, just like the De Anderer portraits and landscapes that cause such fatal offence. [Clauel's film]I've Loved You So Longwas certainly an upsetting film, but it was also life-affirming and celebratory. The same, ultimately, can be said ofBrodeckbut, in this case, the journey towards affirmation is as bleak and dark as can be, a journey that goes to the heart of what it means to be human, responsible and committed to the truth. A journey towards what it means to live a life that is something rather than nothing at all. -The Times "In John Cullen's deft translation, Claudel's writing is lucid and passionate…. [An] excellent novel." -The Guardian "….a grave, powerful, unforgettable book." -Livres Hebdo "In a finely-wrought style…Philippe Claudel describes a terrible world where crime is a natural function of the living." -Le Magazine-Littéraire "Philippe Claudel is at the peak of his art as a storyteller and portrait-painter." -Elle(France) "Don't expect to get out of this powerful, disturbing novel unscathed….Long after you close the book, you'll remember its words, which always sound like terribly accurate reflections of our doubts as well as our fears." -Lire<br, Winner of the 2010 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize! "Although Claudel had long been respected as a novelist in France, only two of his previous books,By a Slow RiverandGrey Souls, had been translated into English. Now his latest novel,Brodeck, arrives like a fresh, why-haven't-we-known-him discovery, revealing him to be as dazzling on the page as he is on the screen....Brodeckis the Brothers Grimm by way of Kafka.... [Claudel] audaciously approaches a subject that seems thoroughly covered and makes it fresh. His nightmarish fairy tale captures the essential, inescapable evil at the center of the Holocaust, the human urge to destroy Others ... a compulsion existing beyond time, place or politics." -The New York Times Book Review "Coming across as the love child of Bela Tarr's filmWerckmeister HarmÓniÃ�kand Gabriel GarcÃ�a MÃ�rquez's 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,' this disconcerting and darkly atmospheric novel, set in an unnamed European town secluded high in the mountains, deals with the effects of collective guilt by examining the dark secrets of its residents as they recall the hardships of war and occupation.

Claudel's style is very visual and evocative (he also wrote and directed the filmI've Loved You So Long), and this novel, like the brothers Grimm fables, is full of terror, horror, and beauty and wonder." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A beautiful, sinister and haunting fable of persecution, resistance and survival. It is set in the aftermath of genocidal war in a vividly etched rural landscape that has all the spine-tingling intensity of a waking dream. . . . Claudel prevailed with his hallucinatory story-almost a dark fairy-tale in which Kafka meets the Grimms-of an uneasy homecoming after wrenching tragedy. . . . Written with a lyrical but solemn grace to which John Cullen's English does rich justice, this book both is, and is not, a novel about the moral wastelands left behind by the Holocaust and other modern killing-fields." -The Independent "Deeply wise and classically beautiful….Brodeckwon the Prix Goncourt des LycÉens in the original French and John Cullen's English translation is as clear as a mountain stream.
