Samedi The Deafness by Jesse Ball
The novel revolves around a man who, after witnessing a murder, is drawn into a surreal conspiracy at a mysterious institution where the residents are engaged in a bizarre form of psychological warfare. The protagonist must navigate through a labyrinth of lies and cryptic rules, trying to uncover the truth while grappling with the concept of "samedi" — a sort of collective madness or deception. As he delves deeper into this enigmatic world, he confronts the challenges of communication, the nature of truth, and the power of societal constructs, all while the boundaries between reality and delusion blur.
