Writer and critic, Octave Mirbeau (1848-1917) is notably the author of L'Abbé Jules, Le

jardin des tortices and Journal d'une femme de chambre. In A Sensitive Man, he tells the

story of an assassin determined, in the name of the harmony of the world, to rid it of "all

the organisms unfit for a harmonious and strong life". Something to inspire Nurse With Wound,

who, by way of illustration, delivers us here Alienation (The Devil's Interval), a new piece

of original music.
