Mademoiselle B. by Maurice Pons, translated by Patricia Wolf
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8 MB
Overview: In Jouff, the village on the banks of the Flanne River where Maurice Pons lives, strange rumors have been circulating about a certain Mademoiselle B. Some townspeople think she’s the devil, some think she’s a bat. At some moments she looks seventeen; at others seventy. The men who are drawn to her small, isolated house behind the dyke don’t have long to live. They’re found drowned in the Flanne, or hanged from an oak, or crushed upon the highways, in suspicious circumstances.
What strange power does Mademoiselle B. unleash in her victims that pushes them to a violent death? The police, the judge, and the priest don’t even want to know. . . ”
But Maurice Pons, who by chance and almost despite himself becomes involved in these inexplicable suicides, pursues a rigorous investigation. He attempts to cut through the mystery behind this white lady who haunts his dreams and his daily lite...
And in the minute-by-minute retelling of events that border on the unreal, he offers us the extraordinary confession of a writer who is victim of his own fantasies.
