Praise for this book

A very dark book written with all of Siniac s sharpness and intensity.
Pierre Siniac reinvents the crime novel in this ridiculous story of two homeless men who are turned into brilliant authors. A powerful attack against the literary establishment.
Pierre Siniac is the ultimate author in the category of black humor. A real gem.
