The Agents<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Gr\u00e9goire Courtois, translated from the French by Rhonda Mullins (Coach House Books, January 18)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nineteen Eighty-Four<\/i> meets Tron<\/i>, via The Office<\/i>, in this boldly dystopian novel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agents don\u2019t know what they\u2019re agents of, but they\u2019re very busy agenting, which means watching endless data feeds in their cubicles, cubicles that are piled one on top of another in a massive tower in which the agents both live and work. Empty floors serve as battlefields where different guilds of agents fight for territory. It seems that defenestration is the only way out, the \u2018ballet of suicides.\u2019 It is here we meet Th\u00e9odore, who has amputated his own toes and must maintain a 30-degree angle to keep his balance. And Solveig, who is pregnant, though agents don\u2019t usually have sex, as well as the artist Lazslo and self-mutilating Clara. And then there\u2019s Hick, the new agent, who seems strangely happy and occupies a cubicle that is strategically very important. The battle for key territory is heating up, and the agents aren\u2019t sure which of them will make it out alive. If, indeed, that\u2019s what any of them want\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
