«Judas le transparent» is the novel by Swiss writer Jacques Chessex, published by Grasset in paperback (219 pages, in French).
Aschenbach leads the sect of the Witnesses of the New Resurrection on an isolated farm. Raphaël Turner, who lives in the neighboring castle, is fascinated by its rituals, and a perverse bond tinged with eroticism, violence and mysticism is formed. As Easter approaches, the parallel with the Passion leads Raphaël to assume the role of Judas.

For readers of French fiction seeking a disturbing reinterpretation of the Passion drama, with psychological tension and a sensual atmosphere.
