«Cinq matins de trop» is a thriller by Kenneth Cook, published by Editions Autrement in paperback (155 pages, in French).
John Grant, a young schoolteacher assigned to a remote area of the Australian Outback, stops for a night in Bundanyabba before flying to Sydney. That stopover turns into a five-day nightmare marked by alcohol, gambling and violence, dragging him into a self-destructive descent.
The work was originally published as Wake in Fright (1961). This French edition, translated by Mireille Vignol, belongs to the Littératures collection.
For those seeking psychological thrillers with a suffocating atmosphere, featuring ordinary protagonists dragged down by social pressure and isolation.
Kenneth Bernard Cook was an Australian journalist, television documentary maker, and novelist best known for his work Wake in Fright, which is still in print five decades after its first publication, and the humorous Killer Koala trilogy.
