Book Reviews of Mountain R (French Literature Series) (French Literature Series)
Book Review: An all-too-real tale of governmental excess and vanity,
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
