ABOUT The Anomaly by Herve le Tellier
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. Many of them in some way lead double lives: a respectable family man who works as a contract killer, a Nigerian pop star who womanizes to hide his homosexuality, a black lawyer playing the good old boys game to succeed, etc. None imagines just how double their lives could be. A virtuoso novel where logic confronts magic, The Anomaly explores the part of ourselves that eludes us. This witty but fanciful variation on the doppelgänger theme brings up philosophical issues about selfhood and identity.
