Enemy Force (1903) is a ground-breaking novel about a poet who is locked in a lunatic asylum and who mysteriously becomes possessed by an alien being from a hellish planet orbiting the star Aldebaran. Humorous and satirical, it is considered by many scholars to be a forgotten masterpiece of science fiction.
John-Antoine Nau (1860-1918) was himself an eccentric French poet and writer who led a marginal existence and whose works remained mostly unpublished until long after his death.
FIRST WINNER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS LITERARY GONCOURT AWARD (1903).
“The best [novel] that we ever crowned.” Joris-Karl Huysmans.
Michael Shreve is a writer and translator currently living in Paris. His credits include translations of Jacques Barberi, André Laurie and Marcel Schwob.
