| Summary |
"Audin plays with codes, numbers and dates to create a fascinating and unsettling story."-Le Temps This debut novel by mathematician and Oulipo member MichEle Audin retraces the lives of French mathematicians over several generations through World Wars I and II. The narrative oscillates stylistically from chapter to chapter-at times a novel, fable, historical research, or a diary-locking and unlocking codes, culminating in a captivating, original reading experience. MichEle Audin is the author of several works of mathematical theory and history and also published a work on her anticolonialist father's torture, disappearance, and execution by the French during the Battle of Algiers. |
