Daniel Pennac was born in Casablanca in 1944, his father being in the French colonial service. He spent his youth travelling widely in Europe, Asia and Africa, and has been employed in a number of capacities, including woodcutter, Paris cab driver, illustrator and schoolteacher. His novels (five to date) written round the character of Benjamin Malaussène, the professional scapegoat, have been published in many languages. He has also written - from his experience of teaching children - a book which has been published in English as Reads Like a Novel.
Benjamin Malaussène is a downtrodden publisher at Vendetta Press. Treated as a scapegoat by Queen Zabo, doyenne of publishing, he finally resigns, only for Zabo to offer him a starring role. All he has to do is to impersonate the world's best-loved, but hitherto anonymous author, J.L.B.

Translated from the French by Ian Monk. 224 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Nelly Dimitranova. keywords: Europe France Literature Translated Mystery World Literature. DESCRIPTION - 'What I'm offering you is love with a capital 'L,' all the love in the world!' This is not the sort of offer professional scapegoat and downtrodden publisher Benjamin Malaussne is used to. But his boss, Queen Zabo, the redoubtable doyenne of the Parisian publishing world, has finally offered him a starring role-all he has to do is impersonate the world's best-loved but hitherto anonymous author. Yet things are never quite so simple for Malaussne and his extended family of misfits and chancers. Soon he is in deep: the theft of a manuscript, a frenzied readership, the disarray of his private life, and then a spate of connected murders that threaten to destroy Vendetta Press entirely. Think of a cross between Diva and Delicatessen, set within the literary intrigue of a publishing house and the multiracial exuberance of low-life Paris, and you will be somewhere near the world of Pennac's Belleville quarter. inventory #29470.
