While Patrice plans a surprise for his wife's fortieth birthday, inexplicable events start to disrupt the hamlet's quiet existence: anonymous, menacing letters, an unfamiliar car rolling up the driveway. And as night falls, strangers stalk the houses, unleashing a nightmarish chain of events. Told in rhythmic, propulsive prose that weaves seamlessly from one consciousness to the next over the course of a day, Laurent Mauvignier's The Birthday Party is a deft unraveling of the stories we hide from others and from ourselves, a gripping tale of the violent irruptions of the past into the present, written by a major contemporary French writer."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Anonymous letters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Captivity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Threat (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Birthday parties $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farm life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women painters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Strangers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marital conflict $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Levin Becker, Daniel, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205012050.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030145.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20230725012010.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230307010622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF7F2A2EBCB511EDBE0894C944ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
