About This Novel
"The God of Murder" is the representative play of French playwright Yasmina Reza. On an ordinary day, two 11-year-old boys had an argument in the park. The former broke the latter's mouth with a stick. This minor dispute over children brought together two couples who had never had any contact with each other. Starting from the negotiation of the child's injury, they uncovered the undercurrents surging under the surface of peaceful life one by one. The laughter, anger, and cynicism between families, between husbands and wives, and between men and women are not only doubts and refutations about the two cognitive concepts of civilization and roughness, but also the collision of Western values : killing or peace, heroism or silence. After the release of "God of Killing", it has been performed in many countries around the world. The film of the same name adapted by Polanski won the 2011 Boston Film Critics Award for Best Ensemble, the 2011 Venice Film Festival Little Golden Lion Award, and the Caesar Film Festival Best Adapted Screenplay Award. The script has been adapted on the stage many times in mainland China.
