Description

A spellbinding debut novel of murder and mind-games, SAMEDI THE DEAFNESS tells the story of James Sims. Witness to a stabbing, James is kidnapped and brought to an asylum for chronic liars inhabited by a collection of brainy terrorists and a beautiful woman in a yellow dress. With the creative brilliance of Mark Danielewski and the lyrical thrill of early Jonathan Lethem, Jesse Ball's first novel is a stunning tale of cat-and-mouse. VINTAGE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL. One morning in the park James Sim discovers a man, crumpled on the ground, stabbed in the chest. In the man's last breath, he whispers his confession- Samedi. What follows is a spellbinding game of cat and mouse as James is abducted, brought to an asylum, and seduced by a woman in yellow. Who is lying? What is Samedi? And what will happen on the seventh day?
