Reviews
"An exquisite, insane surprise. Quite simply astounding." -- Le Journal du Dimanche "The Anomaly is the only book that is nominated for the Goncourt, Renaudot, Médicis, and Décembre prizes. For all the judges who cannot stand one another to come to an agreement is in itself an impossible feat, but it is merited here, for Hervé Le Tellier has written an impossible novel. It's a thriller but also a fantasy. A choral novel, which is also surrealist. An adventure, a page turner, soon to be a bestseller, but also an experimental, highly literary work, a stylistic exercise in the vein of Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec (if you were to replace the building with a Boeing jet)." -- Le Figaro Magazine, "A striking thought experiment...Le Tellier delivers some sharp social comedy here...But behind the comedy are more profound psychological questions about individual freedom...[ The Anomaly ] is priceless." -- Times Literary Supplement "An extraordinary mix of existential thriller and speculative fiction...This thought-provoking literary work deserves a wide readership." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Buckle your seat belts, as Hervé Le Tellier takes you on an extraordinary ride. You won''t want to put this book down until the very last page!" --Leila Slimani, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Nanny "A uniquely, gloriously, provocatively French contribution to the sci-fi thriller genre--it will keep you guessing, get your heart pounding, and make you feel and wonder and--above all--think." --Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award-winning author of Blackfish City "In The Anomaly , Hervé Le Tellier has delivered a volatile and compelling thriller that has you hurtling toward the mystery at the heart of the novel from page one. The Anomaly is a gripping and moving blend of Blake Crouch''s Dark Matter , the television show Lost , with a bit of The Philadelphia Experiment thrown in for good measure. I couldn''t put it down." --Terry Miles, author of Rabbits " The Anomaly is one and ten novels at once, brilliantly connecting every mystery of intimacy with the great mystery of humanity." --Michel Bussi, author of After the Crash " The Anomaly is a brilliant balancing act of a novel, a fantastic rush and ride that works on myriad levels, at various depths, and in a multitude of styles. It''s a precise and erudite literary treat, a comedic sociopolitical-religious skewering of these contemporary times, a philosophical-scientific-mathematical dive into the puzzles of possibility, space, and time, and an ingenious thought experiment that lends itself easily to ad infinitum analysis and dissection. It''s also entirely grounded in human nature. Le Tellier''s pointillistic characters are, like all of us, buffeted by desires, seeking love, striving, aging, making good and bad decisions, choosing the right or wrong paths, believing they know and understand themselves, utterly trusting in free will. Highly intelligent, ironic without cheap cynicism, The Anomaly is an immensely fun novel, an immersive experience that leaves the reader analyzing everything anew." --Cherise Wolas, author of The Resurrection of Joan Ashby and The Family Tabor "An extraordinary, fast-paced, disturbing novel, perfect for these extraordinary, fast-paced, disturbing times. Think Steven Spielberg meets Umberto Eco with a side order of black humor, generously sprinkled with genuine emotion." --Sam Taylor, author of The Island at the End of the World "Exhilarating, thought-provoking, funny, and devastating. The Anomaly is unlike anything else I''ve read this year." --Laure Van Rensburg, author of Nobody But Us "I was completely blown away by this genre-defying masterpiece. Part thriller, part philosophical rumination on what makes us human, and with a dash of theoretical physics; this is an absolute must-read." --Sarah Bonner, author of Her Perfect Twin "Fantastic... The Anomaly wears its name well: it''s rare in France that a work combines the best of American TV series with an impeccable mastery of the French psychological novel." -- Elle (France) "Excellent...at once zeitgeisty, intelligent, and entertaining." -- Charlie Hebdo "An exquisite, insane surprise. Quite simply astounding." -- Le Journal du Dimanche "An adventure, a page-turner, a bestseller, but also an experimental, highly literary work." -- Le Figaro Magazine

Synopsis
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 wonder--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 he's gay. Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boys' 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 Hervé Le Tellier's most ambitious work yet, high literature follows the lead of a bingeable Netflix series, drawing on the best of genre fiction from "chick lit" to mystery, while also playfully critiquing their hallmarks. An ingenious, timely variation on the doppelgänger theme, it taps into the parts of ourselves that elude us most., 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.
