• Resumen

  • L'escargot entêté is the first person narrative of a neurotic « rat-man »'s regression into madness. The narrator's private neurosis dovetails with his job as rat-exterminator in post-revolutionary Algeria s bureaucracy : the discourse of neurosis is the means to the political fable. The novel is thus exemplary of a second generation of Algerian novels, where the political and the individual are symbiotically meshed rather than opposed.
