About this listen

À dire vrai il n'est pas question de Pékin dans ce roman, et d'automne guère plus - mais seulement d'un homme qui, ayant raté son autobus, se retrouve à construire des voies de chemin de fer en plein désert. Ils seront d'ailleurs plusieurs, bientôt, à s'en mêler : archéologue, médecin, abbé... chacun venu là pour des raisons qui restent à élucider mais avec une vision des choses bien précise, des rêves et des désirs bien singuliers. Flirtant avec l'absurde de façon aussi drôle que poignante, ce roman est enchanté par la lecture magistrale de Denis Lavant.

Overall, I liked the book very much (although it is not for everyone), but I feel that, in the end, the author could/should have made it clearer what the “Angel” character got out of the experience he went through and how it would affect his life strategy and decisions moving forward.

The analysis of the human psyche and society through the in-depth exploration of the characters.
