The Old Man and the Wolves

By Julia Kristeva

Part detective story, part fable, this novel--narrated by a French journalist--takes the reader to a mythical postindustrial city where the boundaries between East and West, civilization and barbarianism have been erased. Wolves invade the seaside resort town of Santa Varvara in Eastern Europe, killing thousands of people, but no one will talk of it except a Latin professor known as the Old Man.
