Description
Cherokee Book Description: Jean Echenoz, the modern master of saying "more" by saying "less", invites the reader to an adventure that seems very calm at first glance, but the dose of chaos and rush increases as you get deeper into it, in his Prix Médicis award-winning novel Cherokee. We follow our hero, Georg Chave, who is doubtful whether he is a detective or a gangster, and we go on an extraordinary tour of Paris! Old Paris, new suburbs, business and financial centers with skyscrapers rising, dark suburbs on the outskirts of the city, metro stops, the sides of wide highways and shabby shops are some of the places we will visit. Monsieur Chave will search for love, wealth and happiness with his gun in his hand, while we try to find the missing heir to an enormous fortune, talk to that parrot wiser than most people, and escape from the ritual of strange madmen who try to sacrifice people. “There has been a mistake, an unfortunate mistake. “We are leaving immediately.” (From the Promotional Bulletin)
