Description
Jacques Chesse, writer, poet, and artist, by right is considered a classic of Swiss literature. Back in 1973, he received the Goncourt Prize (“The Cannibal”).
For the first time in Russian, his novel “And the Lord Smelled a Pleasant Fragrance” is being published—one in which critics rightly saw the development of the theme of Züskind’s “Perfume.” The reason is that Chesse’s hero has an extraordinarily keen sense of all smells—from the honeyed fragrance of his beloved to the smell of death coming from the man who is about to die. In the sensual, bloody plot, the amalgam of the highest spirituality inherent to Chesse’s style shines more vividly than ever.
