In this surprising, funny and intensely moving new novel, Victor Joyeux, a concrete engineer in his middle years, has decided to end his life, in a way befitting a man of his profession -- by driving his car into a concrete viaduct of his own design, the irony of which pleases him enormously.
Why has he chosen to end his life? That is the question; and The End is Victor's answer, a self-portrait of one man's rich and colourful life and times as he plans his demise...
