Death Of An Ancient King by Laurent Gaudé
An aging, once-mighty king whose refusal to settle questions of succession sets off a cascade of pride, rivalry and revenge when a young bride and her former lover re-enter his life; told through multiple voices with a spare, mythic lyricism, the narrative follows the gathering of warriors, the inevitable clash between generations and the brutal cost of honor, culminating in sacrifice and the dissolution of a realm.
