Night Rounds


Night Rounds takes place after the occupation when Paris is in the hands of ""the rats that take over a city after the plague has wiped out most of the population."" What's left, or so it appears here, is a marginal world of demimondaines, derelicts, shams, and ruthless arrivistes like Khedive (he will become Police Commissioner) or Mr. Philibert who are killing off as many as possible. Working for them is the narrator; he's an informer, a traitor with ""not enough backbone for a hero. Too detached and too easily distracted to be a real villain."" He knows all his frailties, his queasiness, his compliance, and finally his total willlessness when he's recruited by tire other side.
