The Scapegoat

The novel’s opening chapters set out its basic premise. The scapegoat of the title is John, the narrator. The self-described ‘law-abiding, quiet, donnish individual of thirty-eight’ is a lecturer in French history who has spent the summer holiday doing research in Orléans, Blois and Tours:

As I drove out of Tours, on the last morning, my dissatisfaction with the lectures I should give in London, and my realisation that all I had ever done in life, not only in France but in England also, was to watch people, never to partake in their happiness or pain, brought such a sense of overwhelming depression, deepened by the rain stinging the windows of the car, that when I came to Le Mans, although I had not intended to stop there and lunch, I changed my mind, hoping to change my mood.
