Bol "The Duke was my childhood hero. He was one of our favourite characters, Alexis's and mine, in our adventures. Oh, the different lives we made him live! The different epochs we made him belong to! He could become a king, a president or a general, and we were faithful knights at his service or spies on a top secret mission, trying to outwit plots against him. If only he knew how many times we saved his life!" Now a new story begins to evolve around the Duke, when Alexis and the narrator notice that mysterious glass cubes have appeared in the millionaire neighbour's garden - a story that is no longer just fantasy but real, and inexplicable to the two children. While Alexis moves out shortly afterwards, the narrator continues to harbour this memory, obsessed with it. A loner as an adolescent and then an adult focused solely on his work, he later meets up with Alexis and his life begins to blossom: first around his childhood friend, then around Erena, his wife, and finally around the Duke. He becomes one of the Duke's closest collaborators while his own questions remain just as pressing, fuelled by the numerous cubic figures he comes across during the course of his life. But haven't they always been there, particularly at the most important moments in his life? And surely it is his fate to reassess everything from these subtly different, underlying points of view that brought him to where he is now? Cubes has the powerful momentum of a thriller and the depth of a traditional novel. In these pages life, love and death and not merely questions to which fiction tries to supply elements of an answer. The reader emerges unsettled, or even ruffled, from Yann Suty's world. Yann Suty was born in 1978 in northern France. He lives in Paris and works as an advertising copywriter and as a leader-writer for a newspaper. Cubes is his first novel.
