Le Clezio on the title page Very good in a very good dust jacket with a small chip from the foot of the spine. Jacket design by Harry Ford. Translated from the French by Daphne Woodward.

In 'The Day that Beaumont became Acquainted with his Pain' a man with toothache spends the night seeking ways to disown his throbbing jaw; in 'Fever' Roch finds his mind transported by sunstroke; while in 'A Day of Old Age' little Joseph tries to comprehend the physical suffering of a dying old woman. Set in a timeless spaceless universe these experimental and haunting works portray the landscape of the human consciousness with dazzling verbal dexterity and power. Atheneum hardcover
