The hidden city

Parisians have always valued secrecy, says Andrew Hussey, and by the mid-18th century the city was home to numerous secret societies of occultists, pagans, neo-Gnostics, Freemasons, and the devil knows what else besides.

This clandestine activity was still going strong in 1935, when the writer Georges Bataille and the artist André Masson formed a secret society called Acéphale. Bataille secretly hoped that one of the group's members would one day volunteer to let him kill them as a human sacrifice, but, selfishly, not one of them did.

Wilmington Drive looks like any other street in this sleepy bedroom community. It is lined by houses with just a few scattered streetlights to guide the way. Cars compete for space on every corner. It is quiet most nights, except for Mondays and Wednesdays.

Memory is their guide

The opening chapter of Kevin Brockmeier's extraordinary new novel, "The Brief History of the Dead," is as breathtaking as any fiction I have read in the past few years. People who have died describe their crossing over into a nameless city in the afterlife. To one blind man, the crossing felt like he walked for days through a desert.

Another man described his passage as an amusement park train ride. A girl passed through an ocean the color of dried cherries and a rain of ball bearings.
