A New York Times bestseller and a "Best Thriller of the Year" Winner of the Goncourt Prize and now an international phenomenon, this dizzying, whip-smart novel blends crime, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller as it plumbs the mysteries surrounding a Paris-New York flight. Who would we be if we had made different choices? Told that secret, left that relationship, written that book? We all wonderā€”the passengers of Air France 006 will find out. In their own way, they were all living double lives when they boarded the plane: Blake, a respectable family man who works as a contract killer. Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star who uses his womanizing image to hide that heā€™s gay. Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boysā€™ game to succeed with her Big Pharma client. Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet largely obscure writer suddenly on the precipice of global fame. About to start their descent to JFK, they hit a shockingly violent patch of turbulence, emerging on the other side to a reality both perfectly familiar and utterly strange. As it charts the fallout of this logic-defying event, The Anomaly takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House and a top-secret hangar. In HervĆ© Le Tellierā€™s most ambitious work yet, high literature follows the lead of a bingeable Netflix series, drawing on the best of genre fiction from ā€œchick litā€ to mystery, while also playfully critiquing their hallmarks. An ingenious, timely variation on the doppelgƤnger theme, it taps into the parts of ourselves that elude us most.
