Produktinformationen zu „Narcisse on a Tightrope / French Literature (ePub)“
For seventeen years, Narcisse Dièze, chronic sufferer of a mysterious condition called
"cerebral rheumatism"; has lived in the protective confines of a psychiatric hospital. There
he has been attended by a contingent of nurses, for whom he has obligingly fathered somewhere
between thirty-five and one hundred seventy-one children. (No one knows the exact number.)
But the doctors abruptly decide that he is cured and prod him to reenter the outside world.
Narcisse is floored, yet he gradually summons the will to try. What follows is an account of this
naïve and timid patient's adventures in the realm of the so-called sane. An endearing misfit in the
tradition of Walter Mitty and Forrest Gump, Narcisse is destined to totter precariously on the
highwire of his existence. Will we see him fall?
A quirky fable that pokes holes in the accepted mental health verities and pleads for a touch of
madness. With an introduction by Warren Motte.
