On leave
Anselme, Daniel2015
Book
First published in Paris in 1957, as France's engagement in Algeria became ever more bloody, 'On Leave' received a handful of reviews and soon disappeared from view. Through David Bellos's translation, this lost classic has been rediscovered. Spare, forceful and moving, the novel describes a week in the lives of a sergeant, a corporal and a private, home on leave in Paris.
