«Oedipe sur la route» is the novel by Henry Bauchau, published by Actes Sud in paperback format (416 pages, in French).
Oedipus, blind and overwhelmed by having killed his father and married his mother, leaves Thebes with his daughter Antigone. The road to Colonus is also an inner journey: song, dance, dream and delirium appear as paths to liberation, and the sculpture of a giant wave on a rocky wall condenses his trials. A novel of initiation about individual destiny.
First installment of the Oedipus and Antigone series and number 54 of the Babel collection from Actes Sud.
For readers of literary fiction who enjoy Greek mythology and initiatory journeys with a psychological backdrop.
Henry Bauchau was a Belgian political activist and psychoanalyst who is best known as an author of poetry, novels, and plays in French language.
