fantasque

This is the story of the disappearance of a Swiss university professor, investigated twenty years later by a former colleague. Or maybe that's not really the point. With In search of Karl Kleber, published in May by Favre, Daniel Sangsue has written a «meta-novel» in more ways than one. This faux-regional detective story, a genre the author pokes fun at, can also be understood as a parody of Joël Dicker and, above all, as an eulogy of literature, in which the Americanized university takes the cake.
