I feel it's only a beginning for this book.
Generally speaking, I truly believe that 2006 is the literary annus
mirabilis of the 21st century. So many exciting books just in one year! AtD,
Danielewski, McCarthy, Powers, Chandra, Littell, the forthcoming Pelevin
etc.

They handed out the first of the big French literary prizes yesterday, the
Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française, and Jonaathan Littell's Les
Bienveillantes won, taking 12 votes (to 4 each for the other two finalists);
see also the Reuters report Debutant American takes top French literary
prize. Is it the start of a clean sweep of the big French prizes for
Littell's bestseller ?
