«Des femmes qui tombent» is the novel by Pierre Desproges, published by Seuil in paperback (153 pages, in French).
The novel opens with the discovery of Gilberte's corpse, an innkeeper hanged in her cellar with her head wrapped in a plastic bag. The narrator avoids any explanation and presents the book as an irreverent homage to Homer and to blindness, with Desproges's characteristic black humor.
Published in 1985, with a cover illustrated by Sempé. The work is included in the Literature and Fiction category.
Aimed at readers of satirical humor and French literature, with a constant nod to Homer and the Odyssey.
