The bug

In June 2021, an accident occurs that changes the lives of a group of men and women. What they have in common: They are all passengers on a flight from Paris to New York. A strange assortment of characters, chosen by Hervé Leutilier with randomness and care (Blake, who lives a double life: a hired killer and an ideal family man; Slim Boy, a Nigerian rapper tired of living a lie; Victor Meisel, a marginalized writer who, with his death, turns into a literary legend). ..All of the characters believed that they were living a secret life, and none of them were He learned how secret his life was.A brilliantly constructed novel, in which the logical intersects with the miraculous, and pushes the reader to explore the hidden part of himself. Its basic lesson: There is no room to talk about defects except within a tight system.The novel won the Congore Prize for the year 2020, and there is no better culmination and expression of a year that was a "glitch" in the course of time.
