Duncan gets busy

A Novel

“You will be the noble and superb lover of some Northern princess.The beautiful women will live by your side in the phantasmagorical, magnificent castle of your dreams. The others, whom you consider ugly, will be burnt alive – but what shall we do with their ashes? Yeah, as the Angelinos say.
Duncan is alive. It is beautiful here, but he wants to go back to Paris. On his return home, he will get intoxicated with strong wines – mixed with seawater –, and he will listen to primitive music.He believes in the Gods’ powers; he believes in Love.
But it might not be true.”
For unclear sentimental reasons, Duncan devotes himself to his ruin and to the one of the women he meets, "those bodies without splendour". His system of annihilation, orchestrated by overindulging, proves to be nearly scientific. David Laurençon gets away from any scientific introspection and gets no breathing space. A rather radical first novel.
