Tuesday's books - Alexandre Wälti

And yet the request was simple: a novel that's hard to put down and that's not a thriller. Nothing exceptional, it's true. We just had to avoid the classic pattern of murder, investigation and assassin. It didn't fall on deaf ears, because the bookseller, as soon as these words came out of my mouth, immediately chose the novel. Bufo and Spallanzani. Without saying too many words, just what was needed, the context and a few details about Rubem Fonseca's piquant writing. I was convinced.
