Description
Renowned singer Gloire Stella has mysteriously disappeared. When a television producer tries to track her down, Gloire goes on the run. From the cliffs of Brittany to the back alleys of Bombay, Big Blondes is a riotous, nonstop adventure for anyone who has ever wondered whether blondes really do have more fun.
Author Biography
Jean Echenoz won France's prestigious Prix Goncourt for I'm Gone (The New Press). He is the author of nine other novels in English translation-including 1914, Big Blondes, Lightning, Piano, Ravel, and Running, all published by The New Press-and the winner of numerous literary prizes, among them the Prix Medicis and the European Literature Jeopardy Prize. He lives in Paris.
Reviews"[A] gentle tending to perversity links Echenoz to that other master of the perverse detail, Vladimir Nabokov. . . . Right now go out and join the millions who will enjoy Big Blondes." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Echenoz picks out the absurd nuances of pop culture and twists them into a contemporary detective book. . . . A hilarious read." -Publisher's Weekly
