Publisher's summary

Prétextat Tach, prix Nobel de littérature, atteint d'un cancer, n'a plus que deux mois à vivre. Des journalistes du monde entier sollicitent des interviews de l'écrivain obèse, cynique, misanthrope, reclus dans son appartement depuis des années : quatre seulement pourront l'approcher, une l'affrontera dans un des plus brillants duels littéraires que l'on puisse lire, dont le secret caché dans un livre est l'enjeu.

"Pretextat Tach, c'est exactement moi..."
Amélie Nothomb

Interesting reading/listening but not really enjoyable

Im glad I heard this book instead of simply reading it. Although not always perfect, the reading gives an additional and relevant context for the contents of the story.
I can’t say I enjoyed the story - it’s too gruesome for my taste and I do not appreciate the way it ends…
The writing - the form and the wording - and the way the story develops and reveals the personages is enjoyable and interesting. Also the story is mostly (almost all) told in dialogues and I admire how well they are construed and proceed to achieve this end.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
