Of Fangs and Talons

THE FIRST NOVEL BY NICOLAS MATHIEU WINNER OF THE 2018 PRIX GONCOURT

Nicolas Mathieu's gripping first novel is the story of a world that has come to an end. With a girl a gun and acres of snow.

When a factory that employs most of a small town is scheduled to close - to the despair of the workers and disdain of the overlords - things start to fall apart. The disenfranchised factory workers have nothing left to lose. Martel the trade union rep with innumerable tattoos and Bruce the body-builder addicted to steroids resort to desperate measures. A bungled kidnapping on the streets of Strasbourg goes horribly wrong and they find themselves falling prey to the machinations of the criminal underworld.

"[An] uncompromising portrait of a working class eaten up by the frustration and resentment of having been abandoned and sinking into alcoholism and racism". -- Paris Match
