Summary

Les Éditions de Minuit, publisher of Marguerite Duras and Alain Robbe-Grillet, rarely publishes a debut novel. Jean Echenoz, current star of this revered French literary house and enthusiastic fan of Julia Deck, confesses that he didn't send his first novel to Minuit because the publisher is ?too demanding...too good for me." Yet thirty years later, a first novel published by Minuit has gripped French readers and taken the literary world by storm.Viviane is both an engrossing murder mystery and a gripping exploration of madness, a narrative that tests the shifting boundaries
