A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

All is not well in the cradle of liberty... It's a few days before Christmas in Versailles. Olivier has come to bury his mother, but the impending holidays and icy conditions have delayed the funeral. While trapped in limbo at his mother's flat, a chance encounter brings Olivier back in touch with childhood friend Jeanne and her blind brother, Rodolphe. Rodolphe suggests they have dinner together, along with a homeless man he's taken in. As the wine flows, dark secrets are spilled, and there's more than just the washing up and hangovers to deal with the next morning...

Revue de presse :

Garnier plunges you into a bizarre, overheated world, seething death, writing, fictions and philosophy. He's a trippy, sleazy, sly and classy read.-- AL Kennedy

Bleak, often funny and never predictable --The Observer

Masterly ... very funny indeed, but in the blackest of ways --John Banville

Garnier's take on the frailty of life has a bracing originality --Sunday Times
