Loved this book. It reads like a blog about someone writing a historical novel about the assassination of Heydrich in Prague. As such we have the writer's musings about what he should put in and some hints at his personal life - the mysterious Natacha for example. I enjoyed that "meta-novel" but I quite like quirky post-modern stuff. Binet calls it an Infranovel (in the Eng. translation anyway). The best bits are about the story of the heroic Czech resistance and the gut wrenching vileness of the Nazis. I will admit that I wept.
And guess what? He's got some 1 star reviews.
