Description
Francis Jay is a man of the '90s. Street-wise but eco-friendly, smart yet charmingly naive, when his journalism career falls on the rocks, he sets out to salvage it by embarking on a quest to write about one of the greatest philosophers of the modern age for a TV documentary.
The myth of Doctor Criminale proves almost impossible to penetrate, but Jay doggedly pursues the doctor from congress to congress, from woman to woman, and from muse to muse: just who is the mysterious Criminale?
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
