reviewed The Odd Number: Thirteen Tales by Guy de Maupassant on October 09, 2008 The Odd Number: Thirteen Tales by Guy de Maupassant
Lovely prose. Complex and subtle.
2003 notebook: Rich, layered, similar theme throughout (the absent father, caught up with by the abandoned child, or the other way round). Draws on his medical experience, set around the world - India, Sri Lanka, Africa, U.S., Wales, and Sheffield even, glancingly; this is filled with a network of passing acquaintances, VSO, medics, journalists, scattered around. Joined by the bug. Cholera, disease, insects, diarrhoea feature. In the title story the narrator, a butterfly hunting grandfather is captured by cannibals, the first European thye've seen, thinking him magical with his magnifying glass that can start fires. These are incredible intergenerational, intercontinental, interdisciplinary stories, combining medicine, lepidoptery, love and the theory of evolution.
