Sci-fi meetup online: "The Anomaly" by Hervé Le Tellier

Hello, everyone!

For this meetup, we will read "The Anomaly" by Hervé Le Tellier, the Prix Goncourt winner of 2020.

GOODREADS SUMMARY
A virtuoso novel where logic confronts magic and that explores the part of ourselves that eludes us.

In June 2021, a senseless event upends the lives of hundreds of men and women, all passengers on a flight from Paris to New York. Among them: Blake, a respectable family man, though he works as a contract killer; Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star tired of living a lie; Joanna, a formidable lawyer whose flaws have caught up with her; and Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet commercially unsuccessful writer who suddenly becomes a cult hit. All of them believed they had double lives. None imagined just how true that was.

This witty variation on the doppelgänger theme, which takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House, is Hervé Le Tellier's most ambitious work yet.
