This series of 23 satirically scabrous short texts introduces the reader to an imaginary French suburb via the strange, grotesque small-town occupations that defined a once reliable, now presumably vanished way of life.A catalog of job descriptions that range from the disgusting functions of “The Snot-Remover” and “The Wiper” to the shockingly cruel dramas enacted by “The Skinner” and “The Snowman,” Odd Jobs evinces an outrageous, uncomfortable and savage sense of humor. Through these narratives somewhere between parody and prose poem, Duvert assaults parenthood, priesthood and neighborhood in this mock handbook to suburban living: Leave It to Beaver as written by William Burroughs.Tony Duvert (1945–2008) earned a reputation as the “enfant terrible” of the generation of French authors known for defining the postwar Nouveau Roman. Expelled from school at the age of 12 for homosexuality (and then put through a psychoanalytic “cure” for his condition), Duvert declared war on family life and societal norms through a controversial series of novels and essays (whose frequent controversial depictions of child sexuality and pedophilia often led his publisher to sell his works by subscription only). He won the Prix Medicis in 1973 for his novel Strange Landscape. His reputation faded in the 1980s, however, and he withdrew from society. He died in 2008.

Der junge Maler Jonathan lebt allein und abgeschieden auf dem Land. Immer wieder wird Serge zu ihm ''abgeschoben'', der Sohn einer Freundin aus Paris, die keine Lust hat, sich um ihn zu kümmern. Serge ist im wörtlichen Sinn ein ''ungezogener'' Junge: egoistisch, amoralisch, ohne Werte. Er brät Regenwürmer, experimentiert mit Schnecken und Kröten und spielt an seinem Körper herum. Und an dem von Jonathan. Jonathan weiß, dass das nicht sein darf. Dennoch gibt er Serge den Raum, den der sich sowieso erobert.Mit großer Diskretion schrieb Duvert Ende der 1970er Jahre diesen komplexen Gesellschafts-, Erziehungs- und Liebesroman, der von der französischen Presse hoch gelobt wurde."Ungewöhnliche Sinneseindrücke und tiefgehende Erinnerungen. Man lernt, dass Liebe stirbt, wenn sie gesellschaftsfähig wird." (Le Monde)

Tillfälligt slut
District describes, in ten vignettes, the sad, sordid and sinister aspects of a section of an unnamed French city, and the manners in which the ghostlike human entities that live and wither within it are molded, moved and absorbed by its spaces.A noisy metro station, old tenements, buildings going up, along with the fixtures of French communal life: the open-air market, the public garden; the little shops and bars, the lively town square—the ugly and mundane, the coarse and unmentionable sit side by side with the occasionally burgeoning bit of beauty. With a sense of voyeuristic tension and queasy complicity, the reader is taken on an outcast’s tour of city life—from construction site to metro, from bar to brothel—an analysis of communal living in the conditional tense from the perspective of the absolute exile. One of Duvert’s last books, it is also one of his shortest: an unexpected return to the roving, fractured eye of the Nouveau Roman that had informed his earliest work.
