Revue de presse :

An outstanding novel. Vias describes the process that will lead to Camus's intellectual isolation and subsequent helplessness. Superb. --Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC

Berta Vias Mahou s sensitive and probing novel combines fact, fiction, and excerpts from Camus s own writings to illuminate the French-Algerian writer s life and death through the story of his alter ego, Jacques. . . . This thoughtful story holds messages for us today, among them that the practice of goading people on in their antagonism of one another is both abhorrent and dangerous and that what will remain of most of our precious lives are impalpable memories, the weightless ash of a butterfly wing consumed in a forest fire. --Foreword reviews

A meta-literary novel that s infectiously fascinating, encouraging readers to revisit Camus s works while also going beyond the figure of its protagonist to offer an interesting reflection on violence. --Emma Rodr�guez, El Mundo

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Jacques (Camus's alter ego), recalls the last years of his life. Famous for his opposition to any form of violence whatsoever, his ideas met the disapproval of the intelligentsia of the time, and he received a few death threats. This situation would trigger a recurring nightmare during the renown writer's sleep: They Were Coming For Him to kill him. A novel that provides, in a very literary style, an insightful approach to the last years of Albert Camus's life.
