Le Magasin des suicides by Jean Teulé
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Only when the tone turns tragic does Jean Teule show some talent. Otherwise the style is loose and vulgar without being funny. Why do we French seem unable to write comedy novels, when our theater is so full of comedy plays ? It is a mystery.
Thanks to a handful of charming baroque scenes, Teule's book excapes the zero star.
