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.
