Francis Mirkovic, a French Intelligence Services agent for fifteen years, is travelling first class on the train from Milan to Rome. Handcuffed to the luggage rack above him is a briefcase containing a wealth of information about the war criminals, terrorists and arms dealers of the Zone - the Mediterranean region, from Barcelona to Beirut, from Algiers to Trieste, which has become his speciality - to sell to the Vatican. Exhausted by alcohol and amphetamines, he revisits the violent history of the Zone and his own participation in that violence, beginning as a mercenary fighting for a far-right Croatian militia in the 1990s. One of the truly original books of the decade, and written as a single, hypnotic, propulsive, physically irresistible sentence, Mathias Enard's Zone is an Iliad for our time, an extraordinary and panoramic view of violent conflict and its consequences in the twentieth century and beyond.

Recensioner i media

'The novel of the decade, if not of the century.' - Christophe Claro, translator of Thomas Pynchon 'Zone is a major and compelling work, a work that will keep you in its grip from its first utterance to its last.' - Brian Evenson, author of Last Days 'Mathias Enard has found a way to restore death to life and life to death, and so joins the first rank of novelists, the bringers of fire, who even as they can't go on, do.' - Garth Risk Hallberg, The Millions 'Like Flaubert and James Joyce, Enard seems to have found a model for his omnivorous novel in the Homeric epic, while Ezra Pound's ghost also haunts Zone. - Enard's erudite and ambitious novel is - a Flaubertian encyclopaedia of our times at the end of a violent century.' - Stephen Burn, New York Times
