It took him a year before he could return to writing, a year of frequent reconstructive surgeries, to work through his experiences and their aftermath. As he attempts to reconstruct his life on the page, Lancon rereads Proust, Thomas Mann, Kafka, and others in search of guidance and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisturbance is not an essay on terrorism nor is it a witness's account of Charlie Hebdo, and it's certainly not a \"feel good book.\" The attack and what followed make up a small portion of Lancon's narrative, which instead seeks to provide the most honest and intimate reproduction possible of the interior experience of a man who was a victim, who suffered a \"war wound\" in a country \"at peace.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisturbance is a book about transformation, about one man's shifting relationship to time, to truth, and to his own body.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: in UK in 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Europa Editions (UK) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 448\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 13: 9781787701892\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 10: 1787701891\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philippe Lancon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32884188151911,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/1787701891_7aa4bdad-c15f-4ff8-a761-b85ccea93f4a.jpg?v=1601998812","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/disturbance","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
