ABOUT THIS BOOK
After the fall of France, colorless Joseph Bridet determines to go to Vichy and ingratiate himself with the regime there as a first step towards escaping to England, only to discover that he agrees with the suspicious and pitiless world of the Petainists.
REVIEWS
"This novel, an important element of the Bove canon, will be a major discovery even to readers who know French literature well." —John Taylor, San Francisco Chronicle
"Admirably translated by Dominic Di Bernardi, Quicksand is both a quintessentially Bovian character study and a penetrating memoir of Vichy France." —Julia Just, New York Times Book Review
"A small masterpiece." —Kirkus Reviews
