Description
Fever is a collection of nine short stories that explore the human experience through the lens of physical sensations. Nobel Prize-winning author Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio delves into the ways in which everyday experiences can evoke powerful emotions, from the throbbing pain of toothache to the disorienting effects of sunstroke.
Through these experimental and haunting tales, Le Clezio portrays the inner workings of the human consciousness with remarkable verbal dexterity. The result is a deeply unsettling yet profoundly moving portrayal of life's complexities.
Set in a timeless, spaceless universe, these stories invite readers to confront the intricate web of emotions that underlies our daily lives.
