Edgar is a timid and asocial thirty-something who has always lived in the shadow of his mother only recently passed away. One night, in a cemetery, he witnesses the brutal rape of a young woman that four horsemen of the Apocalypse leave for dead. Edgar decides to take the unconscious victim home. He makes a solemn promise to himself: he will be her saviour.

But what does the young man, haunted by his mother’s memory, really know of the person he has rescued? Of her identity or of her past? Over the course of time, for better or for worse, a strange fusional relationship develops between these two beings.

Nervous and singularly humane, Le christ obese is an implacable novel which digs down to the very roots of Good and Evil. Penned by one of our most surprising dramatists, this powerful work illustrates a most formidable mastery of suspense.
