The Indies at the end of the XIXth century. Above the river, amid the
huts that are linked by bamboo footbridges, swarms a miserable people
that live from what they find. It is there, between heaven and water
that the young Frenchman Ernest meets Kaliani, a beautiful Indian
prostitute. And it is there, in the empire of a scowling jade figure,
that strange events will take place… Completed with an introduction
giving unpublished texts and sketches, this complete edition constitutes
the definitive edition of ‘Piège Malais’.
