The Chinese executioner

This is a very strange story. A Chinese executioner in the middle ages--or at least at some far distant time unspecified--is banned because it is discovered that he murders just before he executes! Good book about a Kafka-like society where you may kill but you may not murder. The motive of the executioner in doing what he does is not explained.

  • "Ecrit en 1954, ce roman met en scène un narrateur qui reçoit les confidences d'un vieux médecin chinois chargé, en 1920, du contrôle médical des exécutions capitales dans la ville de Yi-Ping. A la suite d'une dénonciation et d'un contrôle, une enquête permet de déterminer que l'exécuté par décapitation était déjà mort. Le bourreau avoue alors qu'il avait empoisonné le condamné."
