'It's only after our death that we shall really be able to
hear'. The measured tone of hopeless nihilism that pervades "The
Counterfeiters" quickly shatters any image of Andre Gide as the
querulous and impious Buddha to a quarter-century of intellectuals.
In sharp and brilliant prose a seedy, cynical and gratuitously
alarming narrative is developed, involving a wide range of
otherwise harmless and mainly middle-to-upper-class Parisians. But
the setting could be anywhere. From puberty through adolescence to
death, "The Counterfeiters" is a rare encyclopedia of human
disorder, weakness and despair.
