FRENCH KARNAVAL

Desde hoy en todas las librerías de Francia y demás países francófonos.
 
 

From the reconstruction of the alleged crime to an exorcism, from DK's wanderings through the night life of New York to the use of Viagra and related drugs, from the strange messages he keeps hearing on the bus or in the subway to the later life of Virginie, Ferré piles it on, layer after layer. It is a superb book, covering every angle of the Strauss-Kahn affair and much more. You cannot imagine such a book being written by an English speaker. Indeed, as I have said before and will say again it is just further proof that the most interesting novels being written this century are being written in Spanish and not English though, sadly, with only a few translated into English. It is hoped that this book makes into English but I am not too optimistic.
