In THE HAND, a
calm and retired man suffers a strange and bizarre mutilation of
his right hand when he sticks it out of the window to see if it is raining.
Set against the backdrop of a police investigation, Josseau presents
us with a metaphorical imterpretation of events in Chile, where people
disappeared and were tortured with no culprit.
THE
HEN is the story of an talkative, intellectual man whose wife is
violated both mentally and physically by a neighbor, a renowned and
well-regarded pacifist.
