5.0 out of 5 stars
An all-too-real tale of governmental excess and vanity,,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain R (French Literature Series) (Paperback)
Expertly translated into English by Brian Evenson, Mountain R is a work of French literature revolving around an ill-proposed plan to build a 1,500 meter mountain as a monument. The make-work project is touted to reduce unemployment, attract tourists, and solve the garbage problem (as the mountain will be filled with trash). An all-too-real tale of governmental excess and vanity, narrated from three different perspectives, Mountain R is a tongue-in-cheek examination of man's foibles in his struggle to leave a lasting mark in the wake of his own mortality.
