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.
