This story is pretty remarkable, and although it is well-written, the tone and the way this is done got under my skin. For much of the story the protagonist is not interested in anything, or maybe he is not able to understand emotion, which leads him to be so not active and definitely unemotional. He kills someone, does not help in his own defence in court, and although he will be executed, seemingly had the best time of his life in prison.

Completely Amazing. This was such an absurd read that it leaves the reader breathless. It starts with the sentence Maman died today. The first impression is what is this person feeling. You find out he is feeling nothing at all. You the reader feel sadness over a death. Monsieur Meursaulut is detach from his experiences. He attends the vigil and funeral the nursing home provides for his mother. Comes home and believes his life has not changed.
