"A really short novel that packs a punch. Jonathan Noel leads an ordered life, nothing spectacular but everything is just the way he wants it and has been for decades. He has a job and an apartment in Paris and a little bit of money although not a lot. He goes about his day in an ordered fashion, keeping to himself, away from others and any other events.

The Pigeon ~ Patrick SüskindThe Pigeon is a strange little tale in many ways.

Comparisons to Kafka and Poe are a bit much but this is still a well-written story even if its not the most gripping. From
