520 In this brilliant and hilarious political novella, Leslie
Kaplan imagines a series of unconnected crimes occurring
throughout France. In each, a subordinate kills someone in
a superior position over them--typically with an object
used in their work, be it wiring in an auto shop, a huge
sack of coffee, or a blackboard eraser. While these acts
(no explanation is ever given by the criminals) clearly
have a class-related character, the media and public
figures are loathe to admit that class struggle still
exists. Their denial of reality creates another thread in
this joyful, dark satire: the fumbling of "experts" who
mobilize theory after theory in order to analyze what is
happening without admitting that the events could have any
political content.
