Les Bienveillantes scooping awards

[Ya Sam]

The first sentence of the novel narrated by a monstrous SS officer:

"Frères humains, laissez-moi vous raconter comment ça s'est passé."

"Fellow-humans (lit. human brothers), let me tell you how it happened."

Sounds menacing, and promising in terms of the novel itself.

Short audio interview with the author (in French)

«Le projet de l'écrivain est d'entraîner le lecteur au coeur des ténèbres.»

"The writer's project is to drag the reader into the heart of darkness."

I couldn't agree more.
