Synopsis "Le Mystère Henri Pick (Folio) (in French)"

En Bretagne, un bibliothécaire recueille tous les livres refusés par les éditeurs. Parmi ces manuscrits, une jeune éditrice découvre une pépite écrite par un certain Henri Pick. Elle part à sa recherche et apprend qu’il est mort deux ans auparavant. Mais selon sa veuve, il n’a jamais écrit autre chose que des listes de courses… Aurait-il eu une vie secrète ? Auréolé de ce mystère, le livre de Pick aura des conséquences étonnantes sur le monde littéraire.

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
