«Chien» is the novel by Paul Nizon, published by Actes Sud in paperback (128 pages, in French).
A man who has broken with everything —family, love, work, and civic ties— wanders through Paris, searches old newspapers in the trash, and observes outcasts and criminals. Absorbed in urban absurdity, he remembers his dogs and one he abandoned. An anti-novelistic and asocial novel, a hymn to absolute freedom and intense solitude.
Novel translated from German by Pierre Deshusses; this French edition was published in 1998.
For readers of Paul Nizon and contemporary Swiss literature seeking a radical and asocial narrative.
Paul Nizon is a Swiss art historian and writer.
