Sarkozy's thirst for power drips off new book seizing Paris

The slim volume officially will be published today, but it is already the sensation of this fall's literary season in Paris: the drama of Nicolas Sarkozy's pursuit of the presidency through the eyes of Yasmina Reza, France's most celebrated playwright. Reza, a Tony Award winner, was given exceptional access to her subject for a year. The result is "L'aube le soir ou la nuit" ("Dawn Evening or Night"), a deeply personal, elegantly written encounter between the playwright and the politician, focusing not on his victory but on what she sees as his obsessive hunger for power.
