We organize again together with the French Institute of Valencia, the presentation of the book “Wanted” by Philippe Claudel ( BUNKER BOOKS). Featuring author Nathalie Hirschsprung (Director of the French Institute of Valencia), translates Arantxa Albiol.
About the book:
A narrative in a constant balance between the recognizable and the grotesque. The assassination of a political leader sets off a chain reaction that soon escapes any recognizable logic.. From here, The world that Wanted describes slides into a territory where politics, Media and technology stop operating as systems of order and become devices of distortion..
About the author:
PHILIPPE CLAUDEL (Nancy, 1962) has been a teacher, film and television director and screenwriter. Mainly dedicated to literature, has won the Goncourt des Lycéens Prize 2007 for his book The Brodeck Report. His prose, lyrical at times and calm, delves into the darkest edges of the human being. Considered one of the best French writers of his generation, manages to leave a deep imprint on its readers through disturbing stories, sometimes governed by the codes of fable.
