November may be said to have four protagonists: a group of night-shift
workers in Southeast France; their friends, relatives, lovers,
acquaintances; the factory in which they work; the work itself. The
focus is on two and a half hours during one evening in November 1976 and
the plastic die-casting workshop where the men are employed. Staggering
in scope, November is a virtuoso performance--a contemporary take on the
classical modernist novel, anatomizing the ways we live, think, and
labor: what we've lost, and what we're losing.
