Summary:
"Herman’s wife and child are nowhere to be found, and the weather in the village, perfectly agreeable just days earlier, has taken a sudden turn for the worse. Tourist season is over. It’s
time
for the vacationing Parisians, Herman and his family included, to abandon their rural getaways and return to normal life. But where has Herman’s family gone? Concerned, he sets out into the oppressive rain and cold for news of their whereabouts. The community he encounters, however, has become alien, practically unrecognizable, and his urgent inquiry, placed in the care of local officials, quickly recedes into the background, shuffled into a deck of labyrinthine bureaucracy and local custom. As
time
passes, Herman, wittingly and not, becomes one with a society defined by communal surveillance, strange traditions, ghostly apparitions, and a hospitality that verges on mania. A literary horror story about power and assimilation, That
Time
of
Year
marks NDiaye once again as a contemporary master of the psychological novel. Working in the spirit of Leonora Carrington and Karen Russell, NDiaye’s novel is a nightmarish vision otherness, privilege, and social amnesia, told with potent clarity and a heady dose of the weird."--Publisher.
