The noir genre is today one of the strongest bastions of modern literature. Criminal or underworld stories, approaches to dark offices that govern the famous sewers, police or investigators who leave their skin to solve the most disturbing cases.
Y Pierre Lemaitre He is one of those purists of today's noir. Because beyond trends of the most colorful red of blood and pure effectism, crime novels came to reflect the reality that is not seen at first glance, beyond specific cases followed by the most committed journalism.
In the analogies between fiction and reality, fiction always loses. Even more so in a genre that barely scratches hidden realities, cases never solved or remotely investigated that could explain social, political or even urban events. Without forgetting passionate matters, much more raw on this side of the paper ...
A complete, absolutely personal and very funny vision of the black genre, by one of the most prestigious and popular European writers.
Call it black or police, and whether or not you qualify it as "genre literature" —as if it were not just literature—, the criminal novel has subjects, kings, queens (supposed or not), chapels, polemics, egos ... but , above all, novels that catch, impact, awe and mark both minds and times.
Unconditional of books, films and series that describe - or denounce - the (bad) march of the world, Pierre Lemaitre, with the freedom, commitment and vivacity that characterize him, draws a personal and fun international panorama, like a bible erudite, eclectic and festive of the crime novel.
