L'horizon des évènements
by Biz
Description
Reprising the characters from his 2017 novel La chaleur des mammifères a few years later, Biz here casts a sociological look on academia, in the time of trigger warnings, snowflakes and cancel culture. With humour, he depicts the fear that grips those who are supposed to educate but who grovel to preserve what they have acquired, namely a job, and some power.
The result is the portrait of a milieu that no longer knows what it stands for...
Filled with references to brilliant writer of ill repute Louis-Ferdinand Céline, this tragicomedy raises the question of teaching at a time when everyone’s sensibilities mustn’t be offended and when ignorance is bliss, always preferable to knowledge that hurts.
