Letters from Hanusse: The Structure of Destruction

This volume is the third in The Structure of Destruction, Douglas Messerli's exploration of evil the twentieth century. Through a series of letters Haigh recounts his involvement in the early 1960s with a cult-like group of two married couples as they share a house and sexual favours, and later go underground in Paris. The story intertwines the lives of figures, real and fictional, to explore the awful heritage and destructive actions of individuals and the culture as a whole in the late twentieth century.
