During the German advance through Belgium into France in 1940, Captain de Reixach is shot dead by a sniper. Three witnesses, involved with him during his lifetime in different capacities ¿ a distant relative, an orderly and a jockey who had an affair with his wife ¿ remember him and help the reader piece together the realities behind the man and his death.A groundbreaking work, for which Claude Simon devised a prose technique mimicking the mind¿s fluid thought processes, <i>The Flanders Road</i> is not only a masterpiece of stylistic innovation, but also a haunting portrayal ¿ based on a real-life incident ¿ of the chaos and savagery of war.
