In 'A Desolation', Yasmina Reza presents a moving monologue of a father at the end of his life, expressing his deep desolation to his son. Full of resentment towards family, friends, and strangers, the protagonist especially criticizes his son for adapting to a conformist era. This work, constructed like a musical composition, offers variations that intertwine, culminating in the old curmudgeon's assertion that Bach's music has saved his life.
Yasmina Reza is a French playwright, actress, novelist and screenwriter best known for her plays 'Art' and God of Carnage. Many of her brief satiric plays have reflected on contemporary middle-class issues. The 2011 black comedy film Carnage, directed by Roman Polanski, was based on Reza's Tony Award-winning 2006 play God of Carnage.
