Set in and around Jardin des Plantes, Paris, Europe, the World, the Universe, Armand's short novel is a whodunit with multiple twists. The setting of the tale against a backdrop of fossils and marvels of taxidermy gives Armand's story a macroscopic dimension. As if the evolution of an entire species could be compressed into several hours of a Sunday morning. As if a tale of a murdered schoolteacher and a vengeful mob could tell of speciation and extinction throughout the evolutionary history of life on Earth. And it can. Armand's deftly written fragmentary narrative is a point-counter-point of silent unheard voices, whose apocalyptic finale eschews euphony in favour of a cacophonous refusal of resolution. \"NO END\"--loose ends being preferable to final solutions... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Armand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.72w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780993195570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eArmand, Louis:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Louis Armand is a writer and visual artist who has lived in Prague since 1994.

He is the author of eight novels, including \u003cem\u003eBreakfast at Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e in 2012, a perfect modern noir, presenting Kafka's Prague as a bleak, monochrome singularity of darkness, despair and edgy, dry existentialist hardboil (Richard Marshall, \u003cem\u003e3: AM\u003c\/em\u003e), CAIRO (Equus Press, 2014; short listed for the \u003cem\u003eGuardian\u003c\/em\u003e's Not-the-Booker Prize), THE COMBINATIONS (Equus Press, 2016), and GLASSHOUSE (Equus Press, 2018).

His previous novel, \u003cem\u003eMenudo\u003c\/em\u003e (Antigen), was hailed as unrelenting, a flying wedge, an encyclopaedia of the wasteland, an uzi assault pumping desolation lead... inspiring!
