I bought this book at the same time that "the enemy" to know this author, who was recommended to me by a friend. That changes the usual novels is Emmanuel Carrere invents nothing. You can love or not. And the author also intervenes in its history, in the sense that it is not his, and he tells how he had access to the information. It makes me think of a public writer who would write the history of other people at their request, or at least with their consent. A respectful writing people away from the sensational, on a difficult subject: the death of a young close.
