Pac de Cro Détective by Paul Fournel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Talk about a long drift at sea! This book entered my home in 1997. I came around to reading it some fifteen years later... Why would I delay such a reading for so long? What tragic turn of events kept us apart, myself and Fournel's book, for a decade and a half?
Light and entertaining, always avoiding its promised end, this series of short stories is served by a flawless style. In the French late nineties, only the Echenoz of Lac and Cherokee has achieved this level in the comic novel. Less Houellebecqs more Chevillards please! Less Beigbegers, more Fournels!
